The Second Annual June Classic Softball Tournament was held in School districts who will receive money under the state's new "Robin Hood" bill are already complaining that it won't be enough. At the same time, school districts which will lose money under the plan are planning tax increases to recover the funds. Last February, the Utah State Legislature adopted a proposal to pool property taxes from across the state to help pay for school building construction in "property tax poor" districts. Utah has a longstanding equalization program for school maintenance and operations budgets but not for capital outlay. Over an eight-ye- ar period, the state will phase-i- n a school building equalization fund by pooling half of each district's 10 mill capital outlay levy. This is the tax school districts use to pay for school construction. The State Office of Edu- cation will then redistribute the money back to the districts based on the number of students in each district. Districts with a high property tax base per student will lose money while districts with a low tax base per student will gain capital outlay funds under the dan. This new equalization legislation came in response to the wide disparity in the ability of Utah's Oakley recently.

In contract, Millard School District has one of the richest tax bases per student in Utah. Their tax rate of .006378 is the lowest school property tax rate in Utah but it generates nearly $5,000 per student The "Robin Hood" bill will take about $680,000 from Millard in the first year and give about $402,000 to Davis. Because the "Robin Hood" bill represents years of political debate and compromise, it is not surpris- ing that the initial impact of the bill is extremely small. The plan calls for only about $1 milium of the total $129 million spent on capital outlay throughout the state to be equalized in the first year of the program. Many of the poor school districts are frustrated with the small size of the initial pool especially in light of the state's declining commitment to the critical building fund which has dropped from $15.6 million in 1982 to $6.5 million in 1992. Proponents of the "Robin Hood bill argue that because Utah has a statewide system of education, the state has an obligation to ensure that every student in Utah has equal access to adequate school building . : - per cwt were up $1.30 from a month ago but down $10.80 from the previous year.
