OFFICE OF SCHOOL FINANCE TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY 5/24/2016

20 Senate Bill 1 and the Summary of Finance (SOF)
Senate Bill I raised the homestead exemption from $15K to$25K New school finance acronym: Additional State Aid for Homestead Exemption (ASAHE) Maintenance and Operations (M&O) hold-harmless is on line 2 of the “Other Programs Detail Report” I&S hold-harmless is on Line 52 of the SOF and includes detail for: I&S hold-harmless Eligible debt report Instructional Facilities Allotment (IFA) / Existing Debt Allotment (EDA) reports at $15k and $25k value The Texas Education Agency, Office of School Finance

21 M&O Hold-Harmless M&O dollars flow largely through formulas, not hold-harmless Total M&O state aid increase = $478 million Total reduced recapture = $73.4 million Total M&O hold-harmless = $10.3 million Who gets M&O hold-harmless? For 2017 the increase in the golden penny yield has basically eliminated the hold harmless The Texas Education Agency, Office of School Finance

22 SB 1 I&S hold-harmless provisions
Districts are entitled to additional state aid if the increase in IFA and EDA was insufficient to cover the taxes lost to the homestead exemption increase “Taxes Lost” includes taxes necessary to cover debt that was eligible as of September 1, 2015, plus refundings The Texas Education Agency, Office of School Finance

23 I&S Hold-Harmless I&S hold-harmless is a more significant component of additional funds I&S state aid increased by $127 million with SB 1 implementation Of that, $83.9 million is ASAHE for facilities Who is likely to get facilities hold-harmless? Districts that do not receive IFA or EDA due to property wealth Districts that receive EDA, but that do not have full coverage due to biennial limit or $0.29 limit The Texas Education Agency, Office of School Finance

24 How Will Refundings Be Treated for ASAHE?
All bonds with coupon date prior to 9/1/15 are eligible Left side of the “Eligible Debt for ASAHE” report shows debt service on all bonds eligible for ASAHE as of 9/1/15 Right side shows current-year debt service on those bonds plus any bonds refunding those bonds Total eligible debt = lesser of left or right column The Texas Education Agency, Office of School Finance
