MODERATE
This bill updates how Oregon calculates and distributes money from the State School Fund to school districts, education service districts, and charter schools. It modifies budget preparation rules and adds specific funding transfers to support teacher advancement and high-cost disability services.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on State School Fund administration, but it adds new mandatory funding transfers that reduce the amount available for general school district distributions.
FISCAL

Added mandatory annual transfers of $55 million to the High Cost Disabilities Account and $39.5 million to the Educator Advancement Fund, which reduces the general distribution pool for school districts.

Modified the calculation for distributing State School Fund money by reducing the total available amount by $6 million and reducing distributions to school districts and education service districts by $16.75 million each.

REQUIREMENT

Updated budget preparation requirements to ensure projections for State School Fund programs are based on the second year of the biennium and include consultation with the Department of Education.
