AI Summary

  • Amends Section 37-61-9 of Mississippi Code to revise the administrative spending cap for school districts to $150,000 plus 4% of each school district's expenditures annually.

  • Applies the cap to central administration costs including salaries and fringe benefits from non-federal revenue sources across ten specified expenditure functions (general administration, board services, executive administration, business services, fiscal services, purchasing, warehousing, printing, and other support services).

  • Allows school districts to exclude costs that generate net savings offsetting other budget expenditures, subject to approval by the State Department of Education's Office of Educational Accountability.

  • Exempts districts with five or fewer full-time administrative employees and those that achieved comparable reductions in administrative costs during the five-year period prior to school year 1993-1994, with additional exemptions available if application would jeopardize fiscal integrity or educational service delivery.

  • Limits mandatory annual expenditure reductions to 25% per year for districts required to comply with the spending cap.

  • Takes effect July 1, 2017.
