§ 387.206. Recommended minimum expenditure by school districts, charter schools and university schools for profoundly gifted pupils for textbooks, instructional supplies, instructional software and instructional hardware

1. On or before August 1 of each odd-numbered year, the Department, in consultation

with the Budget Division of the Office of Finance and the Fiscal Analysis Division

of the Legislative Counsel Bureau, shall determine a recommended minimum amount of

money to be expended during each fiscal year of a biennium for textbooks, instructional

supplies, instructional software and instructional hardware by all school districts,

charter schools and university schools for profoundly gifted pupils. The amount must be determined by increasing the amount that was established for

the Fiscal Year 2004-2005 by the percentage of the change in enrollment between Fiscal

Year 2004-2005 and the fiscal year for which the amount is being established, plus

any inflationary adjustment approved by the Legislature after Fiscal Year 2004-2005. 2. The Department, in consultation with the Budget Division of the Office of Finance

and the Fiscal Analysis Division of the Legislative Counsel Bureau, shall develop

or revise, as applicable, a formula for determining the minimum amount of money that

each school district, charter school and university school for profoundly gifted pupils

is recommended to expend each fiscal year for textbooks, instructional supplies, instructional

software and instructional hardware. The sum of all of the minimum amounts determined pursuant to this subsection must

be equal to the combined minimum amount determined pursuant to subsection 1. The formula must be used only to develop expenditure recommendations and must not

be used to alter the yearly apportionment from the State Education Fund to school

districts, charter schools or university schools for profoundly gifted pupils. 3. Upon approval of the formula pursuant to subsection 2, the Department shall provide

written notice to each school district, charter school and university school for profoundly

gifted pupils on or before August 15 of each odd-numbered year that sets forth the

recommended minimum combined amount of money that the school district, charter school

and university school for profoundly gifted pupils may expend for textbooks, instructional

supplies, instructional software and instructional hardware for each fiscal year of

a biennium.
