Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact




STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS15303

This is the Fiscal Year 2007 appropriation for the Division of Facilities portion of the Public
Schools budget. It is the first time in which General Fund money has been appropriated for
this division of the Public Schools budget.

The pieces of the Public Schools budget that are part of this division’s appropriation include:
1.) Funding for the Bond Levy Equalization program; 2.) the regular distribution to Idaho
school districts of all net remaining lottery proceeds; and 3.) additional funds distributed to
meet the state’s matching fund obligations for school facilities maintenance, as required by
the School Facilities Improvement Act (HB 743). These additional funds will be distributed to
any school district in which the state’s Lottery distribution is insufficient to meet the state’s
maintenance match requirement.

FY 2007 represents a transition year for Bond Levy Equalization. In the past, this program
has been funded entirely with dollars allocated from the public schools’ share of State Lottery
proceeds. In FY 2007, it is funded by a mix of General Fund dollars and one-time Lottery
funds. Surplus Lottery funds are available in FY 2007, due to a combination of higher-than-expected
FY 2006 Lottery revenues, and lower-than-expected FY 2006 Bond Levy
Equalization costs.

Since all available Lottery funds will be distributed in FY 2007, no such balances will be
available in FY 2008. As a result, beginning in FY 2008, this program will be funded entirely
by General Fund dollars.
