This article outlines many of the law’s discrepancies, omissions, and
flaws.<o:p> <br>
</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b>Cost Savings:</b><br>
The $36.5 million shortfall in
revenue was deappropriated in the budget bill. The enactment of
legislation to mandate
the reconfiguring of school districts under new laws of governance is
totally unrelated
to this $36.5 million cost savings. This “one size fits all”
legislation puts tremendous
financial burdens on school districts due to cost shifting and the cost
of
merging employment contracts. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b>Increased Costs
for Taxpayers
- Cost Shifting:</b><br>
Cost shifting is the result of
creating new quasi-governmental units by combining towns into RSU’s.
There is a
two-step formula by which the sum of the individual schools’ total EPS
amounts
are first allocated based on number of students, and then the
additional local
share above EPS is allocated based on relative property valuation. The
end
result is a shift in costs among the member units, relative to what
they are
currently paying in property taxes, which can be in the hundreds of
thousands
of dollars (see the appendix for examples).<o:p> <br>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">LD 1932, if passed,
would allow units
to negotiate their own cost sharing formula. This does not eliminate
cost-shifting, but merely passes along the responsibility to the RPC
for
establishing the formula for winners and losers. Instead of eliminating
cost-shifting we now have blame-shifting. Do the DoE and the
Legislature really
think they are absolved from complicity in cost-shifting if these
appointed
committees of citizens lose in the negotiations and their towns’
property taxes
increase? The only way to achieve equity is for each unit to be
responsible for
its own total costs, but there is no provision for this either under
current
law or LD 1932.<o:p> <br>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b>Increased Costs
for Taxpayers
- Cost of Merging Employment Contracts:</b><br>
Our teachers do deserve higher
pay and benefits, and we would like to see that realized. However, the
fact
remains that our towns are simply not going to vote for a plan that
establishes
significant new expenses without showing any additional benefit to
education.
>From the taxpayers’ perspective it looks like their hard earned
income
is going
into the pockets of other individuals who are not going to be doing
their job
any differently. The result is more costs and more cost-shifting.<o:p> <br>

cavalierly disregards this issue. There does not appear to be any
resolution of
this financial barrier to consolidation within the confines of the

part of
school budgets, probably averaging around 75%. These costs, in general,
increase from year to year at roughly the rate of cost-of-living
increases.<br>
<o:p></o:p><b><o:p></o:p><br>
Increased Costs for Taxpayers
– Other Flaws in LD 1932</b><br>
Aside from not providing relief
from cost-shifting, LD 1932 fails to address the loss of minimum
subsidy for
all receivers. It applies only to units that receive the minimum
subsidy in
FY2007-08 or FY2008-09. Units which are not currently minimum
receivers, but
who will fall into that category in the future beyond FY2008-09 will
get
nothing. Furthermore, LD 1932 does not address the situation where a
unit
currently receiving the state subsidy joins an RSU that is a minimum
receiver
and therefore the unit is forced to forfeit its regular state subsidy.<o:p>
<br>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b>Lack of Financial
Support for
Decision Making:</b><br>
Despite the law’s requirements
that the DoE provide models and assist in the collection and
presentation of
data, there is inadequate support from the DoE for RPC’s to make sound,
responsible decisions regarding their financial futures. In the
corporate world
mergers are not considered without legal and financial counsel,
extensive fact
finding, and pro forma detail. The Securities and Exchange Commission
determines requirements for financial information and disclosure. In
regulated
industries, consumers have the protection of state commissions to
request
information and approve any merger or sale. If Federal and State
legislatures
can provide these protections for companies and consumers, why do we
have to
accept anything less with respect to our education system? RPC merger
teams consist
of <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Maine</st1:place></st1:state>
citizens, municipal officers, and school board representatives who have
collectively spent thousands of unpaid hours on this project, as well
as school
administrators with another full time job to do. Very few of these
people have
the requisite legal or financial experience. They are further
handicapped by
the constraints of a hastily constructed and admittedly flawed law and
a severe
lack of information. <span style=""></span><o:p><br>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The DoE financial
models, which
were produced only after the law was passed and implemented, are
woefully
inadequate in terms of what school units and municipalities require in
order to
make sound decisions. It is not even clear what was the intent of this
template
as it merely produced numbers for a proposed RSU based on a “sum of the
parts”
of individual members’ total EPS allocations for this current year. It
fails to
provide a pro forma statement for the RSU’s because 1) it does not
utilize the
method that will be used to determine EPS once the RSU is in operation
and 2) it
ignores the mandated cuts of 50% system administration and 5% each for
transportation, special education, and operation and maintenance.<o:p> <br>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">What it did
accomplish, unbeknownst
to its creators, is to alert school units to the cost-shifting as well
as the
loss of minimum subsidy that are now acknowledged to exist as
unintended
consequences of the law. However, school units still do not have an
accurate
financial picture of what consolidation will look like.<span style=""> <br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The DoE has provided
a second template
to illustrate cost sharing formulae possible with LD 1932, but this
evidences a
further lack of understanding of the basic financial ramifications
imposed by
this law and its purported fix. Taken on its own, it simply does not
alleviate
the cost-shifting to any significant degree. In addition, it ignores
the fact
that cost shifting actually occurs in two steps (see the appendix for
examples
based on proposed RSU’s that illustrate this).<span style="color: red;"><o:p>
<br>
</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">One reason RPC’s are
unable to
assess finances is the non-transparency of the EPS funding formula.
While this
funding formula supposedly relates to per pupil cost, its computation
is
mysterious and when the DoE divulges its allocations to school units
there are
often big surprises. It is difficult enough in a normal year to build a
school
budget not knowing what the state share might be. It is utterly
impossible for
an RPC to attempt to guess at this factor which is now affected by
mandated
cuts that, with one exception, have not been defined in dollars. As a
side
note, the new law moves the notification date for EPS from February 1
to March
31 for the first two years. As many town meetings occur in March, they
will not
be able to determine the school budget at their annual meetings and
will incur
the cost and inconvenience of having to hold a second, special meeting.<span
style="color: red;"><o:p> <br>
</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b>Governance:</b><br>
The formation of new regional
school units requires the various member towns coming together for the
first
time to subordinate their municipal authority to population-based
representation in a new quasi-governmental entity. This mandated form
of
governance is the basis for creating the financial hardships outlined
above. If
you look carefully at the non-SAD school districts that are now in
discussion
to form RSU’s where cost shifting is a financial barrier, you will
observe that
the members share few common characteristics. Trying to combine
municipalities
with dramatically uneven student populations, total populations,
property
valuations, and school budget expenditures is at the base of
cost-shifting, and
as long as these inequities are present, no formula can extinguish
them. If LD
1932 passes and RPC’s get to the point of looking at these
relationships more
closely, the increase in cost of merged contracts raises even more
complications as to who should pay for what. In many cases, it will be
far
cheaper to pay the penalty than conform to the law.<o:p> <br>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b>The 55% Fallacy:</b><br>
Many of us are well aware that
while a 2003 vote by citizen initiative requires the state to fund 55%
of the
cost of education, the state is in fact not able to afford this. If the
Governor,
Commissioner of Education, and Members of the Legislature could admit
this fact
and ask its citizens to assist in redefining the state’s financial
responsibility, I believe a solution can be found. There are still many
folks
who are under the impression that the state gives every school 55% of
its
budget and do not realize it is the <i>total </i>statewide cost that
is
subsidized by 55%. Please look at <a
href="http://www.maine.gov/education/data/subsidy/subs08.html">http://www.maine.gov/education/data/subsidy/subs08.html</a>.
The far right column shows each school’s state share and you will be
amazed to
see the huge disparities in the state’s share of communities’ education
costs.<o:p> <br>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The 55% requirement
drives a lot
of shadowy manipulations from the machinations regarding EPS to the
withholding
of state money versus schools’ federal allotments. This would be a good
time to
reinstate an open, honest, and fair system of funding.<b><o:p> <br>
</o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b>Caveat Emptor:</b><br>
In the spring of 2007 the DoE
hired a public relations person to manage their press coverage. School
district
consolidated was to be sold, not bought. When you read articles that
depict the
triumph of seeing school districts complying with the law you must
realize that
so far the requirements have only been to submit simple, non-binding
checklist
type forms. While our law-abiding public has been willing to pay
lip-service to
these filing dates, the general temperament is what you would expect
from
prisoners hoping they will get a life sentence and not the death
penalty. There
is even a desperate hope that this is all a bad dream and we can wake
up to
find it gone.<o:p> <br>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b>Conclusion:</b><br>
The intended cost savings do not
exist for municipalities. Cost-shifting and the increase in cost for
salaries
and benefits will result in huge property tax increases as a result of
this
legislation or now if the <i>non-action</i> of this legislature does
not repeal
this law. LD 1932 does not remove “unintended financial barriers”.
Other flaws
are so numerous that those who have studied them agree that there are
certain
to be even more flaws that have not yet been identified. Picture trying
to
cover a wide-mesh fish net with band-aids because you need to use it to
bail
out your sinking boat.<o:p> <br>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Finally, even if the
legislature
chooses to let school consolidation law stand, with or without
amendment, there
is no guarantee of compliance. <i>If</i> RPC’s are willing to do more
work, <i>if
</i>they are willing to submit a detailed plan, and <i>if</i> the
Commissioner
approves the plans, then there is a very big <i>if</i> when it comes
time for
the towns to vote. Another fact gathering request of this legislature
might be
to assess the likelihood of voter acceptance.<b><span style=""> </span><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Undoubtedly <st1:state
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Maine</st1:place></st1:state>’s
citizens can all agree on the point
that we need to be diligent in striving for economic efficiencies in
all state
programs, and we need to confirm this goal and work to that end. In <i>Charting
Maine’s Future</i>, The Brookings Institution points out: “<span
style="font-family: FairfieldLH-Medium; color: rgb(35, 31, 32);">With
Yankee ingenuity and the town meeting
each part of its mystique, the most important among all of <st1:state
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Maine</st1:place></st1:state>’s
advantages in the coming years will
be its knack for community-spirited problem solving.” We should be
capitalizing
on this resource to build efficiencies in our educational system that
have a
direct goal of enhancing educational excellence, not exhausting our
resources -
our elected officials and our volunteers – by forcing them to react to
a crisis
established by misguided legislature mandated from the top down, for
which they
will pay with significant increases in their property taxes.<o:p> <br>
</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span
style="font-family: FairfieldLH-Medium; color: rgb(35, 31, 32);">There
is a positive side to this debacle: many of us have met and exchanged
ideas
with others whom we would not otherwise have had the opportunities. The
future
is promising if these people with the local knowledge and commitment
are given
a chance to work together unencumbered by the current legislation.</span><b><o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b>Appendix:<br>
</b>The following is excerpted from
my testimony on December 12, 2007 to the Joint Committee on Education
and
Cultural Affairs in opposition to LD 1932. While the examples relate to
the
RPC’s I have worked on, I would be willing to calculate for your
consideration comparisons
for any RPC if provided with the raw data.<b><o:p> <br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b>Cost-Shifting and
LD 1932
adjustments:</b><o:p> <br>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The highlighted
column shows the
cost-shifting produced by the original formula in the law, which is an
application of a two-step formula based first on percent of students
and then on
relative valuation.<o:p> <br>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The language of LD
1932 and the
accompanying template allow the RSU to replace the second step,
formerly based
on valuation, with any combination of pupil count and valuation. As you
see
below, the range of possibilities between and including 100% of either
factor,
pupil count or valuation, still produce substantial cost shifting for
the
members. In this example, application of the law as it now stands
results in
approximately $776,000 being shifted, and the suggested options under
LD 1932
result in a range of approximately $711,000 - $903,000 being shifted.<span
