Comprehensive Charter School Reform Top Concerns. The funding formula for charter schools must be changed to reflect the actual cost needed to educate students in these alternative environments. The cost of special education students attending charter schools must reflect the actual cost to instruct students through the IEP process. Over-identification of special education students by charter schools must be addressed. Research for Action Study: The Fiscal Impact of Charter School Expansion. Legacy costs of charter school tuition is 44% - 68%. The total fiscal impact on local districts grows as more students depart for charters. Small districts suffer a lager fiscal impact.
EITC, ESA s, 529 S, and the Forces of Privatization EITC: Education Improvement Tax Credits. Businesses can reduce their state taxes by contributing to EITC Programs, which are mostly private school oriented. THUNDERBOLT FOUNDATION LASD receives $950 per year for AP Exams ESA: Education Savings Accounts. Money is withdrawn from the districts basic subsidy and sent to an account for the parents of students in the lowest 15% of schools. 529 Plan: Now can be used for K-12 Education Expenses. Choice and Privatization Forces will be strong in the 2018 election cycle.

Federal Education Funds FY 2018 An overall budget appropriations bill has not been authorized by congress yet. The current continuing resolution goes through Feb. 8 and another is likely through mid-march. AASA has cautioned school leaders not to expect any increase in federal funds for 2018-2019. Unfortunately, level funding will be considered a win. 14
