	This bill includes a one-time General Fund appropriation of $28,293 in fiscal year 2017-18 to the Learning System program within the Department of Education to fund 90% of the costs to local school administrative units for their school boards to adopt policies governing the involuntary transfer of teachers.  This estimate reflects the time that it may take for superintendents and administrative staff to draft and distribute the preliminary policy proposals for review by the boards and incorporate revisions as necessary for final approval and distribution.
