         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on SB1825 ( Relating 
to the State Board for Educator Certification.) this office 
has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by SB1825-As Introduced
         
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         

         
 
          
The fiscal implications to units of local government are described 
below.

The bill  would require a district to issue a school 
district teaching permit to all educators not holding a certificate.

Districts 
would also be required to issue employment contracts to educational 
aides and teacher interns.  These employees could not be fired 
during a school year.  Interns and aides would also have due 
process rights prior to termination.

School districts would 
be required to hold due process hearings before terminating 
an aid or intern if requested by the employee.  The cost of 
a hearing is estimated to be between $5,000 and $20,000.

The 
fiscal implications described above would be likely to continue 
beyond 2002.
