State Standards of Quality Funding Do
Not Reflect True Costs of K-12 System
State does not pay for all Board of Education
approved standards; overemphasizes the lower values
in the more numerous, smaller/rural school divisions
in calculating prevailing costs; does not reflect realtime salary costs in re-benchmarking; and localities
often go beyond state mandates to meet SOL and
SOA requirements.
 All localities spent $6.84 billion for school division
operations in FY 2013, or $3.55 billion (108%) above
RLE. All localities provided 56 percent of state-local
funding for K-12.
 All school divisions exceeded RLE in FY 13.
