| FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board |
| IN RE: | HB328 by Dukes (Relating to promoting the importance of higher education in public schools.), As Introduced |
The bill would require each school district and open-enrollment charter school to designate one week during the school year as "Education. Go Get It" Week for middle school, junior high school, and high school students dedicated to promoting the importance of higher education. The schools would be required to provide grade-appropriate information and to schedule at least one public speaker to promote the importance of higher education.
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
School districts and open-enrollment charter schools could see a slight increase in costs associated with planning the week and providing the information required by the bill.
