2012-2013 Fiscal Year
The Governor's Executive Budget for 2012-2013 includes $6,516,087,000 for the Student Achievement Education Block Grant appropriation (SAEBG). This amount is a $21,823,000 increase (0.34%) over the 2011-2012 appropriations for Basic Education Funding, School Employees' Social Security, Pupil Transportation, Nonpublic and Charter School Pupil Transportation, which are rolled into SAEBG.
This appropriation redesigns school district funding to support decision-makers and encourage high-performance and cost-effective management. As a part of this effort, the commonwealth is eliminating time-consuming bureaucratic processes and retaining accountability measures. Decision-making authority would rest with the local school district administrators and school boards who will have more flexibility to determine where the funds are most needed in their school district and how to prioritize spending with available resources.
The allocation for the 2012-2013 SAEBG includes the following components:
- Component A
An amount equal to the Basic Education Funding allocation for student achievement for the 2010-2011 school year (fiscal year 2011-2012) pursuant to section 2502.50.
- Component B
A proportionate share of $504,775,000 based on the payment on account of social security for the 2011-2012 school year pursuant to 24 Pa. CS 8329.
- Component C
A proportionate share of $542,255,000 based on the sum of the following:
o The payment on account of pupil transportation allocation for the 2010-2011 school year (fiscal year 2011-2012) pursuant to section 2541 and
o The Commonwealth share of payments made on behalf of the school district to intermediate units for the cost of transportation for the 2011-2012 school year pursuant to section 2509.1.
- Component D
A proportionate share of $77,664,000 based on the payment on account of transportation of nonpublic school pupils pursuant to section 2509.3 and transportation of charter school pupils pursuant to section 1726-A(a) for the 2010-2011 school year (fiscal year 2011-2012).
