Local Government Impact
  
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.

The provision requiring the addition of information on campus dropouts to
the campus report card would add an estimated one page to the current
report card length.  The additional cost to school districts to print and
distribute the larger report card to the parents of all 1,096,580 high
school students is based on $.03 a page, for a statewide total of
$32,897.

School districts may incur a small amount of additional cost in tracking
down parents of students that have dropped out and distributing the
campus dropout information to them.
