| Budget Issue: | Block grant for K-14 mandated activities |
| Program: | Education Mandates |
| Finding or Recommendation: | Adopt Governor's May proposal to eliminate roughly half of education mandates and create a block grant for remaining activities. Modify proposal so that (1) block grant activities are required only as a condition of accepting the grant and (2) different types of local educational agencies receive funding based on different per-student rates. |
For more detail on the Governor's May proposal, please see our handout "K-14 Mandates: May Revision Proposal". (Please note that the Governor's proposed trailer bill language now indicates that the "Financial and Compliance Audits" mandate is included in the block grant.)
