33 

34            21-13-309.  Determination of amount to be included in foundation program
35  for each district.

 

Page 38

 

 

 

 1 

 2            (o)  The revised model amount per ADM for each district computed under
 3  subsection (n) of this section shall be further adjusted for the following.
 4  Unless otherwise specified in this subsection, the adjustments under this
 5  subsection shall be determined as specified in the cost of education study,
 6  dated April 1997, and the spreadsheet provided by the consultant performing the
 7  study related thereto, both of which are on file in the legislative service
 8  office:

 9 

10                   (i)  To the extent specifically provided by this section, The
11  amount shall be adjusted to provide for the effects of inflation; as follows:

12 

13                         (A)  For the 2001-2002 school year, increase the amount
14  by a total percentage of:

15 

16                                (I)  One and three-tenths percent (1.3%), for inflation for that
17  school year; plus

18 

19                                (II)  Zero percent (0%), for inflation for preceding school years.

20 

21  2.  (a)  Of this appropriation:

22 

23                   (i)  Twenty-nine million seven hundred sixty-seven thousand three hundred four dollars
24  ($29,767,304.00) is appropriated to be expended as follows during fiscal year 2001:

25 

26                         (A)  Twenty million nine hundred forty thousand six hundred twelve dollars
27  ($20,940,612.00) for a state capital construction grant to Weston county school district number
28  one (Newcastle) for a new elementary school and a new high school;

29 

30                         (B)  Eight million eight hundred twenty-six thousand six hundred ninety-two dollars
31  ($8,826,692.00) for a state capital construction grant to Weston county school district number
32  seven (Upton) for a new high school;

33 

Page 39

 

 

 

 1                         (C)  The department shall not expend or commit to expend these funds unless the
 2  proposed expenditures by a district will provide adequate facilities for the education of high
 3  school students within the district;

 4 

 5                         (D)  No revenue bonds shall be issued under W.S. 21-15-108 to fund appropriations
 6  for state capital construction assistance authorized under this paragraph.

 7 

 8                   (ii)  One million dollars ($1,000,000.00) is appropriated to be expended for fiscal year
 9  2002 state capital construction assistance that will be recommended by the state superintendent
10  before the 2001 general session in accordance with law.  The legislature recognizes that state
11  capital construction assistance recommended by the state superintendent before the 2001 general
12  session in accordance with W.S. 21-15-111 will likely far exceed this appropriation.  Given
13  that uncertainty, the legislature intends this appropriation as a "place holder" until those
14  recommendations are submitted, after which the legislature can determine the appropriate
15  structure for funding qualifying projects.

16 

17  3.  (a) When the state superintendent submits school capital construction budget
18  recommendations to the governor by November 1, 2000, and November 1, 2001, as required under
19  W.S. 21-15-111(m), the state superintendent shall also provide the following to the governor
20  and to the joint appropriations interim committee with respect to recommendations for state
21  capital construction assistance:

22 

23                   (i)  An explanation of the extent to which the state superintendent reduced the amount
24  for state capital construction assistance for a project by eliminating project components the
25  state superintendent determined were not essential for adequate facilities as authorized under
26  W.S. 21-15-111(c);

27 

28                   (ii)  The state superintendent's opinion as to whether there are less expensive
29  alternatives to the project proposed by the district which would provide the affected students
30  with adequate school facilities, and if so, a description of those alternatives; and

31 

32                   (iii)  The state superintendent's opinion as to whether there are less expensive ways of
33  providing components of a project, without eliminating them, and still provide the affected
34  students with adequate school facilities.

35 

 

Page 40

 

 

 

 1  4.  (a)  This footnote and twenty thousand one hundred dollars ($20,100.00) of the capital
 2  construction appropriation in this budget is effective immediately. 

 3 

 4            (b)  The department of education shall recompute school capital lease grant payments under
 5  W.S. 21-15-105(g) for the 1999-2000 school year as if subsection (c) of this section were
 6  effective for that school year and make any additional payments for that school year as soon as
 7  practicable after this footnote is enacted into law. This subsection shall not affect mill levy
 8  supplement payments made under W.S. 21-15-105(a) for that year.

 9 

10            (c)  For the biennium July 1, 2000, through June 30, 2002, school capital lease grants under
11  W.S. 21-15-105(g) shall be computed as if the proportion referenced in W.S. 21-15-105(g)(ii)
12  excluded a deduction for two (2) mills as provided in W.S. 21-15-105(d).

13 

14  5. (a)  For funding public schools during July 1, 2000, through July 1, 2002, and
15  notwithstanding W.S. 21-13-318, for the purpose of computing foundation program amounts under
16  W.S. 21-13-309(p) for all school districts, the small school adjustment shall not be allowed
17  for a school that otherwise qualifies for that adjustment unless:

18 

19                   (i)  The school was established as a separate school within the district before January
20  1, 2000; and

21 

22                   (ii)  The school met the ADM criteria under W.S. 21-13-318 for a small school based upon
23  the ADM for that school for the first sixty (60) days of the 1999-2000 school year.  The
24  qualification in this paragraph does not apply to a school where the reduction in ADM at the
25  school resulted solely from a decrease in students in the geographic area and was not related
26  to reconfiguration of grades in the school.

27 

28            (b)  The purpose of this footnote is to limit the creation of new small schools during the FY
29  2001-2002 biennium except where the small school results from loss of students in the area the
30  school serves.

31 

32  6. (a)  Funds appropriated to the school capital construction account for construction projects
33  identified under subsection (b) of this footnote are encumbered and shall be expended only upon
34  legislative authorization following the analysis and reporting required under subsections (c)
35  and (d) of this footnote.

24  any amounts available to the district for purposes of this subsection from bonded indebtedness. 
25  In addition, payments under this subsection shall not exceed industry standards as published by
26  the American Institute of Architects.  Each district shall file schematic design documents for
27  its respective project or projects with the legislative service office not later than August 1,

31  engineering analysis, an energy efficiency analysis and a safety and security review for each
32  project identified in subsection (b) of this footnote. This analysis and review shall be
33  prepared by a licensed design professional who is not an employee of the department of
34  education and has no direct or indirect interest in a school district project identified under

Page 42

 

 

 

 1  subsection (b) of this footnote. The analysis and review shall be completed by and reported to
 2  the joint appropriations interim committee on or before December 1, 2001.

 3 

 4            (e)  Based upon the results of the independent analysis and review conducted under
 5  subsection (d) of this footnote, the joint appropriations interim committee shall recommend
 6  legislation authorizing expenditure and adjusting as necessary the amount of the appropriations
 7  identified for each project under subsection (b) of this footnote.

27 

28            (b)  The joint appropriations interim committee shall, following consideration of the report
29  submitted under paragraph (a)(ii) of this footnote, authorize expenditure of the amounts
30  encumbered under this footnote.

31 

32            (c)  For purposes of this footnote, W.S. 21-15-111(f)(i) shall not apply.
