School districts with students attending private voucher schools would collectively lose about $5.3 million under a change to the state's funding formula the Assembly passed Thursday.

The bill passed on a 56-37 vote. The latest version of the bill still awaits a vote in the Senate.

The 2015-17 state budget allowed school districts to increase revenues — state aid and property taxes — for students attending private voucher schools, typically about $10,000 per pupil. The districts also lose state aid based on the amount claimed for a voucher, which is capped at about $7,300 for K-8 and $8,000 for high school.

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, took issue with districts being able to pocket the difference, potentially through higher property taxes. He originally proposed changing the formula in a way that would have cost school districts with voucher students collectively about $14.2 million in revenue authority in the first year.

The scaled-back version of the bill that passed Thursday would allow school districts to retain as much funding in state aid and property tax levy authority per pupil as the amount of each student’s private school voucher. That would mean the collective reduction to the 142 districts with voucher students would be closer to $5.3 million.
