Fiscal Analysis

The bill would increase entitlement under the Foundation School Program (FSP) by changing the multiplier applied in calculating the bilingual education allotment. The bill would take effect September 1, 2015.

Methodology

The bill would increase the multiplier applied in calculating the FSP bilingual education allotment from the current value of 0.1 to 0.25.  Based on current projections of the average daily attendance of students anticipated to be served in bilingual education or special language programs, increased cost to the state under the provisions of the bill are estimated to be $761.2 million in fiscal year 2016 and $764.0 million in fiscal year 2017, increasing to $817.6 million by fiscal year 2020.

Local Government Impact

School districts and charter schools that serve students in bilingual education and special language programs would realize additional revenue beginning in fiscal year 2016 under the provisions of the bill.
