METHODOLOGY:
This bill, effective in FY 2020, eliminates the kindergarten grant based on Keno revenue established under RSA 198:48-c, III, and removes the ½ attendance cap on full-day kindergarten pupils for the purpose of calculating adequate education grants. Under current law, the kindergarten grant based on Keno revenue provides at least $1,100 per full-day kindergarten pupil per year and up to the full amount calculated under the adequate education formula to the extent funded from Keno revenue. The amount estimated for these payments in FY 2020 is $9,988,781 (it is assumed Keno revenue would not exceed this amount and therefore the grant would not exceed $1,100 per pupil). Using FY 2019 data (revised October 1, 2018), total adequate education grants without reducing full-day kindergarten pupils to ½ attendance would increase by $19,221,980. The net impact of the elimination of the kindergarten grant under RSA 198:48-c, III, and including full-day kindergarten pupils in the adequate education grant formula is an increase to state education trust fund expenditures and an increase to local revenue of $9,233,199 per year:
USING FY 2019 REVISED DATA | Current Law | Proposed | Increase / (Decrease) |
Total for Kindergarten Grants Based on Keno Revenue | $9,988,781 | $0 | ($9,988,781) |
Total Adequate Education Grants | $915,580,517 | $934,802,497 | $19,221,980 |
TOTAL | $925,569,298 | $934,802,497 | $9,233,199 |
Any changes in kindergarten enrollment figures from FY 2019 data will impact the estimates above.
