You can now find posted on the Mississippi Parents Campaign website (http://www.msparentscampaign.org/) the local school district allocations of MAEP funding that was appropriated for the coming year in House Bills 1622 and 1059. Please bear in mind that the funding appropriated in HB1059 is contingent upon the passage of federal legislation to extend the states' reduced match for Medicaid. Schools will receive at least the level of funding appropriated in HB1622. You will note that the spreadsheet that they have posted, which was created by the Mississippi Department of Education, is in draft form. This is due to the fact that Governor Barbour has not yet received and signed the appropriations bills. Though he is expected to approve them, the budgets are not final until he does so.
The spreadsheet compares:
- what districts had in the way of MAEP funding for the current year (FY10) after budget cuts and after some of the funding that had been cut was restored
- what each school district will receive in the way of MAEP funding for FY11 (next year) according to HB1622
- what each district would receive for FY11 according to HB1059 if the federal legislation is passed
- how much ARRA (federal stimulus) funding was used in the appropriation
FY 2010 MAEP ALLOCATION AFTER ALL CUTS AND RESTORATION OF $33.9M - $14,088,660
FY 2011 MAEP ALLOCATION - HB 1622 FUNDING LEVEL - $14,425,359
FY 2011 MAEP ALLOCATION - HB 1059 FUNDING LEVEL - $14,608,212
FY 2011 AMOUNT OF ARRA SFSF (THIS AMOUNT IS ALREADY INCLUDED IN BOTH FUNDING LEVELS AND IS NOT ADDITIONAL FUNDS) - $925,263
