The bill would also require the Coordinating Board to conduct a best-practices study and report the Legislature by December 1, 2000. Methodology For purposes of the fiscal note, it is assumed that grants made under the program would average $80,000 and with 10 grants awarded each year. The administrative costs for the Coordinating Board would be two percent of the total grants or $16,000 per year. The Coordinating Board assumes that the study would be a one-time cost of $30,000. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. Local school districts would be developing collaborative programs with proximate institutions of higher education and public high schools. Source Agencies: LBB Staff: JK, CT
