2006 House Bill 5725

Appropriations: 2006-2007 Education Department budget

Introduced in the House

Feb. 21, 2006

Introduced by Rep. Rich Brown (D-110)

The executive recommendation for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2006-2007 Department of Education budget. This appropriates $90.3 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $117.8 million, which was the FY 2005-2006 amount enrolled in 2005. Of this, $6.6 million will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2005-2006 amount of $16.4 million. Note: Much of the difference from previous year spending levels is due to the fact that items in this budget the previous year were shifted to the School Aid budget.
