AN ACT allowing for school district budgets and warrant articles to include cost per student information.

 

Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:

 

1  New Paragraph Municipal Budget Law; School District Budget; Cost per Student Notations.  Amend RSA 32:5 by inserting after paragraph V-b the following new paragraph:

V-c.  The legislative body of school district may vote to require that all budget items or any warrant articles having a cost impact on the budget shall contain a notation stating the cost per student of the budget or article.  The determination of cost per student shall be calculated as total requested budget divided by the number of full-time equivalent pupils.  The determination of the cost per student shall be subject to approval by the governing body.  Unless the legislative body has voted otherwise, if a school district has not voted to require such cost per student notations to be printed in the school district warrant, the governing body, or the school district budget committee adopted under RSA 32:14 may, on its own initiative, require that the cost per student notations of its votes be printed next to the affected article.

2  Effective Date.  This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
