AI Summary
- Extends the state aid foundation formula phase-in period from five years to ten years (through 2016-17), slowing the transition from 2005-06 legacy funding levels to the new formula by reducing the annual percentage increases for each school year starting in 2010-11
- Establishes a mechanism for proportional reductions to all school districts' state aid payments when the foundation formula appropriation falls below the fiscal year 2010 actual state aid expenditure, including a 10% reduction for districts whose local effort exceeds their total formula entitlement and an additional uniform percentage reduction applied to all districts
- Restricts summer school attendance counted toward average daily attendance beginning in 2010-11 to only attendance hours based exclusively on academic areas of study aligned with core subject areas of the regular instruction program
- Modifies the career ladder program (Missouri Career Development and Teacher Excellence Plan) by making state appropriations discretionary rather than mandatory, replacing the variable three-tier matching formula with a flat 40% state/60% local funding split, and requiring that state appropriations be made prospectively for the year in which work is performed beginning in fiscal year 2012
- Directs the Joint Committee on Education to study the timing of state funding delivery to school districts during the 2010 legislative interim, with a final report and recommendations due by December 31, 2010
