Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill includes ongoing General Fund appropriations of $500,000 per year beginning in fiscal year 2019-20 to the School Finance and Operations program within the Department of Education to provide funding to those school administrative units that operate alternative breakfast delivery services that provide breakfast after the start of the school day.
This fiscal note assumes that the public hearings required to be held in order for a school administrative unit to opt out of the alternative breakfast delivery service will be held during a regularly scheduled meeting of the local school administrative unit's governing board and that the required public notice will be provided as part of the regular notice of a meeting of the governing board.
