1. Middle School Math Initiative The House proposes an appropriation of $18.5 million to create a per pupil grant to school districts for each student in grades 6 through 8. The plan would provide $65 per pupil for a full year, but payments for FY 2005-06 would begin in January 2006 and would be prorated to approximately $49 per pupil for the remainder of the fiscal year. Funds would be designated to improve pupil performance on the MEAP mathematics assessments and to help districts meet Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements for mathematics. This would only go into effect if the combined total amount of projected school aid fund revenue for FY 2004-05 and FY 2005-06 is at least $35 million more at the January 2006 Consensus Revenue Estimating Conference than what was projected for that combined total at the August 2005 Revenue Estimating Conference. |
