12 hereby amended by the addition thereto of a NEW SECTION, to be known and des-
13 ignated as Section 33-1018, Idaho Code, and to read as follows:
14 33-1018. DISTRICT ALLOCATION FOR BUILDING MAINTENANCE REQUIRED. School
15 districts shall annually deposit funds from any source available to the dis-
16 trict equal to at least one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the replacement
17 value of district owned school buildings to the school district deferred main-
18 tenance fund, which fund is hereby created. The district allocation of one and
19 one-half percent (1.5%) shall be reduced by the amount of the state allocation
20 provided in section 33-1019, Idaho Code. For the purposes of this section, the
21 term "school buildings" does not include buildings used exclusively for admin-
22 istrative staff, shops, garages, stadiums or similar nonteaching functions.
23 Moneys in the school district's deferred maintenance fund shall be used for
24 the maintenance and repair of the district owned school buildings, the expen-
25 ditures of which are categorized as maintenance of buildings and equipment on
26 forms prescribed by the state department of education, or may be applied to
27 capital improvements. Moneys may also be applied by the school district to
28 debt service on outstanding debt when the balance in the building maintenance
29 fund is in excess of one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the replacement value
30 of district owned school buildings.
31 No deposits are required by the district beyond those necessary to bring
32 the balance in the deferred maintenance fund to an amount representing five
33 percent (5%) of the replacement value of all district owned school buildings.
34 Unexpended moneys in the school district's deferred maintenance fund shall be
35 carried over from year to year. The replacement value of all district owned
36 school buildings shall be determined by multiplying the number of square feet
37 of building floor space in all district owned buildings by seventy-four dol-
38 lars ($74.00). Annually, the state department of education shall review the
39 dollar value figure for replacement and the superintendent of public instruc-
40 tion shall report an updated figure to the joint finance-appropriations com-
41 mittee prior to the twentieth legislative day.
42 School districts shall annually submit the following to the state depart-
43 ment of education:
2
1 (1) An update of the number of square feet of building floor space in
2 district owned school buildings;
3 (2) A report showing the funds and fund sources deposited into the
4 district's deferred maintenance fund in each fiscal year, the fund balance
5 carried forward from the prior fiscal years, and the amount and categories of
6 expenditures from the fund.
7 SECTION 2. That Chapter 10, Title 33, Idaho Code, be, and the same is
8 hereby amended by the addition thereto of a NEW SECTION, to be known and des-
9 ignated as Section 33-1019, Idaho Code, and to read as follows:
10 33-1019. SCHOOL BUILDING MAINTENANCE EQUALIZATION SUPPORT. In furtherance
11 of the duty of the state to support the schools of the state of Idaho, the
12 legislature hereby establishes the school building maintenance equalization
13 support program. The annual appropriation shall be determined by multiplying
14 the total number of square feet of building floor space in district owned
15 school buildings times the replacement value as established in section
16 33-1018, Idaho Code, and subsequently revised by the joint finance-
17 appropriations committee. The result shall be multiplied by one-half of one
18 percent (.50%) to determine the equalization support target amount to be fully
19 funded in the tenth program year. In the first year, ten percent (10%) of the
20 target amount shall be funded and each year thereafter, an additional ten per-
21 cent (10%) of the target shall be funded to reach one hundred percent (100%)
22 in the tenth year. The allocation shall then be made on an equalized basis,
23 using the equalized value determined by the department of education. The
24 moneys from the school building maintenance equalization support appropriation
25 shall be deposited by the district in the district's school building deferred
26 maintenance fund and used exclusively by the district for the purposes of the
27 fund.
28 SECTION 3. This act shall be in full force and effect on and after July
29 1, 2004.
