  7. FY 2014 partial solution Sen. Will Brownsberger Targets districts with aid below target who have a combined effort yield as a percentage of foundation budget of not more than 140 per cent. (This is reasonable, although complex – the wealthiest out-of-line communities don’t need help.) Awards percentage additional aid equal to “25 per cent of the difference between the district’s target aid amount and the sum of prior year aid and the district’s foundation aid increment;” (This helps all under target proportionally instead of addressing the most out of line.)
