July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2005 — the first biennium enacted after DeRolph ended. H.B. 95 changed nothing structural in the formula. verified

It is the quietest act of the decade and the biennium with the sharpest measured decline, which is the pairing worth holding: a budget can leave a formula alone and still move what the formula pays, because the formula’s inputs are appropriations and appropriations are re-set every two years.

The foundation base cost formula remains in force. Foundation aid is still 200501 plus 200612.

Foundation aid fell in real terms in both years, and its share of the budget fell in both Contents

FY2004   enacted $8.377bn   foundation $4.997bn   59.7%   real $8.797bn
FY2005   enacted $8.653bn   foundation $5.016bn   58.0%   real $8.613bn

Against FY2003’s $9.157bn real, that is -3.9% and then -2.1%, while the department’s total appropriation rose 3.3% and then 3.3% nominally. The money did not leave the department; it stopped going through the formula. verified appropriation-lines.csv, bundle::deflator
