| IN RE: | SB403 by Van de Putte (relating to the classroom placement of multiple birth siblings in public schools.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted |
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
School districts would be required to honor parents' requests for classroom placements of multiple birth siblings. If after the first grading period the principal and teachers determined the placement to be disruptive, the principal would be authorized to determine appropriate classroom placement. Parental appeal of an altered placement would be provided in a manner determined by local school district policy. Local administrative workload and associated costs for review and consideration of disruptive placements would vary from district to district but would not be anticipated to be significant on a statewide basis. The bill would not require that a school district honor a parental request for placement in separate classrooms if the request would require the school district to add an additional class to the affected grade level.
