Description of appropriation:
The appropriation contained in this bill will be used for to fund the categorical
grant program for career and technical education (CTE) equipment, supplies, and
materials. Under current law, this funding is allocated to school districts through
the K-12 education resource block grant model (K-12 funding model). This bill
removes the funding from the K-12 funding model and allocates funding to school
districts in the same amount, but in a categorical grant program. The Department
of Education-School Finance is required to include this appropriation in its fiscal
year (FY) 2027-2028 biennial budget request, as reflected in the expenditure table
below.

Source of revenue increase and expenditure increase and (decrease):
The overall funding for CTE equipment, supplies, and materials from the categorical
program is anticipated to be the same as contained within the K-12 funding model,
however, there will be a corresponding revenue increase to the SFP in the form of
school district recapture payments and a corresponding expenditure decrease from
the SFP in the form of school district entitlement payments. The expenditure
increase reflects the categorical grant program funded outside the K-12 funding
model in the FY 2027-2028 biennial budget.
Assumptions:
The above estimates were determined through the use of forecast K-12 funding models
utilized by the Legislative Service Office and are based on the most recent available
data.
