(1) For the 2014-15 budget year and each budget year thereafter, each school district shall report the total amount of additional local property tax revenues the district is authorized to collect in addition to the district's total program mill levy, but not including amounts authorized pursuant to section 22-40-110, article 42 of this title, or article 43 of this title, and the amount of the additional local property tax revenues that the school district distributes directly to schools of the school district, stated as a dollar amount.

(2) The department shall annually compile a report of the information received pursuant to subsection (1) of this section concerning the collection of additional local property tax revenues by each school district and the distribution of the revenues to the schools of the school district, including the charter schools.

(I) Capital construction and facilities funding;

(II) Funding for technology; and
