Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Based on the 2003 State Valuation, this legislation will increase the amount of General Purpose Aid for Local Schools subsidy that the town of Ashland receives by $66,960 in fiscal year 2003-04.  Since this legislation requires the Department of Education to fund the increase through savings that may occur in the General Purpose Aid for Local Schools program in fiscal year 2003-04 or as an audit adjustment in the program in fiscal year 2004-05, no additional General Fund appropriation is required.  However, if an audit adjustment is required in fiscal year 2004-05, it will reduce the amount of subsidy available for distribution to all other local school units in the State.  The impact to each individual school unit can not be determined at this time.
