FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) assume the proposal would have no fiscal impact on DESE. They also assume local taxes would be redistributed.
Officials from the St. Louis Special School District assume the proposal would result in an adverse impact on the district's financial and operational planning. Local districts could unilaterally decide to undertake education for one or more classes of students with disabilities. The uncertainty would make staff retention difficult to maintain, and downsizing would be necessary for the district.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal.
DESCRIPTION
The State Board of Education would be required to promulgate rules to establish a process whereby a school district within a special school district could assume responsibility for providing education for one or more defined classes of students with disabilities resident within the school district. Upon receiving written notification from such school district, the school district would assume full responsibility for education of the designated resident pupils, and the special school district would provide the proportionate share of revenues to the school district for such pupils in the manner and amount as established by rule.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
