Fiscal Detail and Notes
This legislation may increase the total cost of funding Essential Programs and Services and, in turn, the State's share of funding K-12 public education beginning in fiscal year 2005-06.  The additional General Fund appropriations required for the General Purpose Aid for Local Schools program within the Department of Education can not be determined at this time and will depend on the results of the data analysis to be conducted by the Department.  This bill may also affect the amount of State subsidy received by local school administrative units.  The impact to individual units also can not be determined until the analysis by the Department of Education is completed.
