In addition to standard program maintenance items, this budget includes two enhancements. The first provides funding, primarily from the General Fund, for one new position in the department’s Public Schools Finance area. Over the last eight years, the number of school districts for which the department must administer funding allocations has increased from 112 to 114 and the number of public charter schools has increased from zero to 28 (for FY07). In addition, this staff section has been given new program responsibilities, such as Bond Levy Equalization. This budget also includes a federally-funded enhancement for two positions to help provide technical assistance to new charter schools. This item was previously approved by the Legislature as a one-time FY06 supplemental, necessitating a revisitation of the issue in the FY07 budget.
