HB33 Jacob Szekely, IN - Moderate
 * Title:** Funding for Learning
 * Sponsors:** Gary Spice, OH - Moderate


 * Purpose:** The purpose of this bill is to help schools get needed money and 21st century renovations, so that all children get an equal education. Currently, we have some schools with computers, and practice 21st Century skills, while others have no computer, and a small work staff. Therefore, the children who go to the well sustained schools will be more likely to get a better education. This difference in school quality is due to strained state and local budget. Not all schools can afford the same technology as others, and that's why we made this bill. This bill will fund schools to renovate their facilities, hire new teachers and staff members, get school supplies, and make sure the schools are meeting the necessary criteria. This will be done accordingly by inspections, to determined which areas schools need more money for. This is to make sure that schools who need more funding than others, will get more funding than others. We will get this money mostly by cutting funds that give money to foreign countries. This is because we feel that we need to keep more of our money in the United States, for us. Updated schools would ensure that students get an equal education, and a foundation for their future success. Everything they need for learning will be provided right at the school for them.


 * Eligibility:** This bill will mainly affect...
 * all students going to school
 * schools that cannot afford to renovate, update, and hire new teachers
 * schools that have received budget cuts


 * Terms and Benefits:**

This bill will start out as a five year process, starting will the bill being passes (hopefully by the start of 2013).

Here is the process in the order of which things will be done:
 * 1) Schools will get different amounts of money to renovate. The amount given will be determined by the condition of the schools. People will be hired to inspect the schools, to determine the condition, and report an estimated amount of money needed. This will create about 6,000 jobs. ||  ||
 * 2) The blueprints for the renovations will be determined by experts working with the school for what they want and feel they need. The final blueprints will be constructed, and all schools will get renovated (some dramatically, some briefly. It all depends on the condition). Each class size will need to be 20 students of less, and should be at least 1000 square feet. (with some exceptions like the gym). The old technology will be recycled, and the new will be put to use. Also in this stage, the final cost for the renovations will be determined. This stage will create 10,000 jobs. ||  ||
 * 3) Once the schools are renovated, teachers will be hired, and each school will get school supplies. This amount of school supplies will be determined on the location (rich town vs. poor). This stage will also create jobs, about 13,000 jobs. ||  ||
 * 4) The next step will be to make sure the schools are teaching the required criteria. There will be other inspectors hired to do this. Also, at the end of the school year, there will be a new assessment for all students to take, starting in 2014, which will calculate what they had learned over that year, and what the schools need to improve on.This part will create about 7,000 jobs (inspectors and test creators). ||  ||
 * 5) In the long run, this will fulfill the purpose of this bill, which is to help schools get needed money and 21st century renovations, so that all children get an equal education ||  ||

The process in years is shown below: 2013 - During the school year (end of 2012, and start of 2013): Step 1, and creating the blueprints form Step 2. During the Summer: Step 2, the renovation part, will be done. During the start of the new school year (August): Step 3 2014 - Throughout the whole year: Step 5 2015 - Assessment (second year) 2016 - Assessment (third year) 2017 - Five years have passed, renew bill
