257.36 SPECIAL EDUCATION SUPPORT SERVICES BALANCES.
Notwithstanding chapters 256B and 273 and sections of this chapter
relating to the moneys available to area education agencies for
special education support services, for each school year, the
department of education may direct the department of management to
deduct amounts from the portions of school district budgets that fund
special education support services in an area education agency. The
total amount deducted in an area shall be based upon excess special
education support services unreserved and undesignated fund balances
in that area education agency for a school year as determined by the
department of education. The department of management shall
determine the amount deducted from each school district in an area
education agency on a proportional basis. The department of
management shall determine from the amounts deducted from the
portions of school district budgets that fund area education agency
special education support services the amount that would have been
local property taxes and the amount that would have been state aid
and for the next following budget year shall increase the district's
total state school aid available under this chapter for area
education agency special education support services and reduce the
district's property tax levy for area education agency special
education support services by the amount necessary for the property
tax portion of the deductions made under this section during the
budget year.
The amount deducted from a school district's budget shall not
affect the calculation of the state cost per pupil or its district
cost per pupil in that school year or a subsequent year. Section History: Recent Form
