| Fiscal Detail and Notes | ||||||
| Exempting the Town of Hermon from the requirement to join other towns to form a regional school unit with a student population exceeding 1,200 will not affect the total state and local cost of K-12 public education or the State's share of that cost. However, providing this exemption will result in the redistribution of state subsidy in fiscal year 2010-11 with the Town of Herman receiving approximately $165,193 more in state subsidy than it would have received had this legislation not been in place and all other conforming school administrative units receiving less state subsidy due to the Town of Herman not being subject to penalties pursuant to the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 20-A, section 15696. | ||||||
