Text Text

HB1288 enables school administrative units to adopt budget caps and outlines procedures for their implementation.

HB1288 amends RSA 194-C to allow school administrative units to adopt budget caps. It sets the budget cap as the overhead cost per student times the average daily membership of member school districts, adjusted for inflation. A 3/5 majority vote is required to adopt the budget cap. The bill details procedures for voting, recounts, and certification of results. It also outlines how to handle budgets exceeding the cap and allows for the cap to be rescinded by a 3/5 majority vote.
