                              FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

Officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE)
assume the proposal would result in no fiscal impact to DESE or the school
districts.

Officials from the Department of Social Services state the proposal would not
require any changes in procedures for children in the custody of the Division
of Family Services or Division of Youth Services.  They state that
educational decisions are usually made in consultation with the child's
parents.  Therefore, they assume the proposal would result in no fiscal
impact to the department.

program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
