4. –Density Aid – Fixed and marginal costs are issues for Districts, therefore, changes in enrollment due to School Choice have a significant impact to Local Budgets, as a result Districts that see more than an amount greater than or equal to 5% because of School Choice would receive additional Aid –Differences in Expense Profiles of Traditional Districts and Public Schools of Choice - The differences in expenses are fundamental in nature, regulations, or statute. Examples are, pre-school screening, student services for students 18-21 years old, nonpublic – school services, out-of-district placements, debt service, retiree medical insurance. As a result, the recommendation is that the per pupil rate will see a hold back of approximately $355 per student. Governor’s Proposed Changes (cont.) 4
