Local Schools Will Receive Bonus Local school districts in Utah are expected to receive a of special bonus distribution $1.7 million from the state this year. This fact was disclosed by Utah Foundation, the private research organization in an analysis of the 1973-7- 4 school program. According to the foundation study, the special allocation represents funds remaining from last years state appropriation to the minimum school program after all intended legislative commitments for the 1973-7- 4 school year were met. The $1.7 million balance developed because most school costs were overestimated by school officials and the amount that could be raised from the required local tax was underestimated. The bonus distribution to lo- cal school districts arises from the fact that the 1973 Utah Legislature attempted to tie the state commitment under the minimum state - supported school program to a definite amount based on the estimated costs for the various items. The 1973 school law listed the estimated cost items in a table if the amount for social security and retirement in this table is over or underestimated, or if the total number of weighted pupil units is over or underestimated, then the amount per unit paid in all programs to school districts must be increased or decreased so that the state expenditure will not exceed $155,752,000 The study points out that this special distribution to local schools comes at a time when the state is experiencing some financial difficulties, and when higher education and other state institutions and agencies have been instructed to cut their 1974-7- 5 appropriations by Moreover, the added apportionment will be made despite the fact that the state uniform fund fiscal concluded the 1973-7- 4 year with a deficit of $815,038, and is expected to end the fiscal year present (1974-7with a deficit of $10 million or more unless some action is taken by the 1975 Utah Legislature.

In all likelihood, another bonus distribution will be made to local schools at the conclufiscal year, sion of the 1974-7- 5 according to the foundation. Exact program costs will not be known until sometime after the close of the school year, but it is known that the local contributions to the program were underestimated by at least $650,000 for this year. The foundation analysis concludes that while it is true that school costs and local tax collections cannot be estimated with absolute precision nearly 18 months before the close of the budget year, there seems to be no justification for treating schools differently from other state institutions and departments which must remit excess appropriation balances back to the state rather than to have any windfalls available for expenditure.

Of this sum, approximately is acouuted for by from appropriations lapses made to the Department of Social Services for welfare and other purposes.
