|
| 2 |

| 5 |
| operational expenditures; and

| 6 |
| WHEREAS, Less than fifty percent of school funding comes |
| 7 |
| from State sources; and
|
| 8 |
| WHEREAS, Residential structures can be built in a |
| 9 |
| particular year, however, the full realization of the property |
| 10 |
| taxes collected by the county and received by a particular |

| 12 |
| and
|
| 13 |
| WHEREAS, When such structures are built the effect on local |
| 14 |
| school districts is detrimental; therefore, be it

| 19 |
| to cover the cost of education services for their children who |
| 20 |
| are enrolled or who will be enrolled in that school district |
| 21 |
| for a period of one year.
