Floor Packet Page No. 10
      Amend CSHJR 4 as follows:
      On page 2, line 1, insert the following after the period:
      "(c)  It is the policy of this state that the provision of
public education is a state responsibility and that a thorough and
efficient system be provided and substantially financed through
state revenue sources so that each student enrolled in the public
school system shall have access to programs and services that are
appropriate to the student's educational needs and that are
substantially equal to those available to any similar student,
notwithstanding varying local economic factors.
      (d)  The public school finance system of this state shall
adhere to a standard of neutrality that provides for substantially
equal access to similar revenue per student at similar tax effort,
considering all state and local tax revenues of districts after
acknowledging all legitimate student and district cost
differences.".
