I want to ENDORSE your plan

I have QUESTIONS or FEEDBACK about your plan

I want to RANT about your plan (welcome; please explain why).

The Iseminger Education Finance Plan is based on fairly extensive modeling, which included going through a number of different scenarios to see which one seemed to work best, and align most closely with the guiding principles and what would be best for the state.

Below are links to documents that show the spreadsheets I’ve generated to do this modeling. They show the revenue forecasts, the implications of all the tenets on a per-district basis, and provide the factual, financial, and numeric information that, hopefully, provides the reality-based backing to show how my plan can and would work. The current version of these modeling sheets, below, were created in January 2011.

The numbers in this spreadsheet are not necessarily exact, but I’ve striven to make sure they’re very close. If my plan gains momentum - and you can contribute to that momentum by using one of the links below to endorse the plan or provide me with feedback on how to make it better - I will make sure those numbers become as close to exact as they can.

I do not anticipate that everyone will be able to make sense of these documents just by casually glancing through them. As I can, I’ll provide explanations for the formulas and assumptions that went into each column or row.
