STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS31756 / H0763
This bill provides an appropriation to the new Student Support Division as part of the Public School Support
Program. This division includes funding for Administrators, Operations, and Children's Programs. This
appropriation provides enhancements to the FY 2025 maintenance budget with adjustments to nondiscretionary
funding as a result of 696 fewer estimated support units for fiscal year 2025. This bill increases the
discretionary funds distribution by 20.1%, and provides an additional 2% CEC for the administrative and
classified positions. This bill also changes three sections of language that were approved in House Bill 460.
For FY 2024, the bill provides a supplemental appropriation of $105,000,000 for discretionary funds. This
supplemental is the result of fewer calculated support units as a result of the state returning to average daily
attendance (ADA) for student count funding purposes. This supplemental relies on existing appropriation and
therefore has no impact to the General Fund.
FISCAL NOTE
This appropriation provides an all funds increase of $108,542,900 to the maintenance appropriation provided
to the Public School Support Program found in House Bill 460. Table 1 below shows the enhancements by
fund source for fewer support units, the 2% CEC, the final year of COVID-19 relief funds, and additional
discretionary funds. Table 2 shows the full fiscal impact for the new Student Support Division, which includes
Administrators, Operations, and Children's Programs. The total budget for the Student Support Division is
$1,724,470,200.
