FROM: | John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB1314 by Pitts (Relating to placement of certain students in alternative education programs.), As Introduced |
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
To the extent that placements in a disciplinary alternative education program are more expensive than service provided in the regular classroom or on a regular campus, school districts choosing to exercise the authority afforded by this provision could incur additional costs. Costs incurred by a district would vary widely depending upon the type of disciplinary alternative education programs a district might have available to serve such students. It is assumed that all potential costs could be avoided, if a district chooses not to exercise the authority that would be provided by the bill.
