Enclosure
|
Whereas, the methodology for the Fair School Funding Plan (FSFP) (otherwise known as the Cupp-Patterson School Funding Plan) was developed by school funding experts and practitioners, and
Whereas, the development of the FSFP was to create a funding mechanism that would be fair and equitable for all districts statewide, and
Whereas, the overriding aim of the crafters of the FSFP was to meet the criteria contained in Ohio’s Constitution which calls for a thorough and efficient system of common schools, and
Whereas, the FSFP has had the overwhelming support of the education community and many lawmakers from around the state, and
Whereas, the Governor and the General Assembly prudently devised a six-year phase-in of the FSFP in order minimize the stress on state resources, and
Whereas, the first four years of the FSFP (along with appropriate updates to the data used within the formula methodology) have been successfully implemented, and
Whereas, the final two years of implementation of the FSFP have not yet been accomplished, now
Therefore be it resolved, that the Northwest Local School District Board of Education urges the 136th General Assembly to implement the final two-year phase-in of the FSFP, and
Further be it resolved, that the board urges that the phase-in include appropriate updates to the data used within the formula methodology.
We urge this action in order that districts across the state may receive the full benefits of the FSFP and that lawmakers may examine the effectiveness of the FSFP when fully implemented.
