STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS28911 / S1202
This is the FY 2022 original appropriation bill for the Office of the State Board of Education. It appropriates
a total of $30,524,700 and caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 56.25. This budget
includes support for the central Administration Program, IT and Data Management Program, and the Office
for School Safety and Security. The Charter School Commission was formerly included. For benefit costs, the
bill maintains the current appropriated amount for health insurance at $11,650 per eligible FTP, extends the
holiday for the employer's sick leave contribution rate for another year, and restores funding for the employer's
unemployment insurance contribution rate. The bill also provides funding for the equivalent of a 2% change
in employee compensation for permanent state employees.
The bill funds eight line items, which provide 5.00 FTP and $583,900 for the move of the Office of School Safety
and Security from the Division of Building Safety; 1.00 FTP and $493,000 for a DOJ Violence Prevention
Grant; 1.00 FTP and $166,100 for a deputy director position; $8,284,000 onetime for COVID-relief funding;
$61,000 for dues payable to the Education Commission of the States; the reduction of 4.00 FTP and $560,800
to remove the Charter School Commission from the budget; $30,000 for program evaluations; and $15,000 for
continuous improvement plans and committee meetings.
