ARIZONA STATE SENATE
Phoenix, Arizona
classroom site
fund; technical correction
Contains a technical correction to remove provisions relating to the manner in which Proposition 301 classroom site fund monies are distributed.
Proposition 301, approved in November 2000 by the State’s general electorate, set forth a six-tenths of one percent sales tax increase for purposes relating to new accountability measures and additional funds for school districts, charter schools, community colleges and universities (Laws 2000, 44th Legislature, Fifth Special Session, Chapter 1).
The classroom site fund, established by Proposition 301, provides for teacher salary increases and monies relating to maintenance and operation purposes. Monies from the classroom site fund are to be allocated in the following order: (1) 40 percent for teacher compensation increases based on performance and employment related expenses, (2) 20 percent for teacher base salary increases and employment related expenses, and (3) 40 percent for maintenance and operations purposes.
Current law stipulates that monies in the classroom site fund are continuously appropriated and establishes a mechanism for determining the distribution of the funds. H.B. 2517 provides for a technical correction to remove stipulated provisions relating to the distribution of monies from the classroom site fund.
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state general fund associated with this legislation.
1. Contains a technical correction to remove provisions relating to the manner in which Proposition 301 classroom site fund monies are distributed.
2. Provides for a general effective date.
