Draft urges increasing Local Optional Revenue to offset inflation
Summary
District 191’s draft platform echoes AMSD in recommending an increase to Local Optional Revenue (LOR) authority—proposing $979 per pupil in the packet—to recover purchasing power lost to inflation and stabilize district budgets.
The committee packet notes a proposal to raise Local Optional Revenue authority from previous levels (packet references increasing LOR authority to $979 per pupil) to restore purchasing power lost to inflation. Clerk read language calling for indexing LOR to the general education formula and for measures to hold districts harmless from revenue shifts tied to compensatory formula changes.
The draft asks the Legislature to permit school boards by resolution to transfer surplus nonfederal operating funds across accounts and to consider timing for mandate enactment so districts can budget and staff accordingly. No motion to adopt a specific dollar amount was recorded during the working meeting.
