  • Board discussion of Property Values and Funding Lag at the August 26, 2024 board meeting:
    The agency uses prior year property values in calculating each school district’s local share of Foundation School Program (FSP) funding. Using school districts prior year property values does not fully reflect the property values decline that may be experienced by some school districts. When the agency calculates FSP payments during the fiscal year, the agency is required to assume the same estimated property value increase in property values for all school districts. School districts with declining property values may experience significant underpayments creating what is called a funding lag. This funding lag may negatively impact cash flow and overall funding levels for some school districts.​
