FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the Department of Secondary and Elementary Education (DESE) assume the department would require 2 FTE Supervisors (2 @ $47,616) to develop an alternative plan whereby an unaccredited school district may return to accredited status. Oversight assumes that since the language of the proposal regarding the adoption of an alternative plan is permissive, in the event the State Board of Education elected to adopt an alternative plan, costs associated with development and implementation would be included in the DESE budget process.



Officials from the School District of Kansas City, Missouri (KCMSD) assumed that the planning commission and the community advisory committee would incur meeting expenses that do not have a funding source. Oversight assumes that if the planning commission or the community advisory committee are not entitled to compensation or reimbursement of travel and meeting expenses from the KCMSD, there would be no fiscal impact on KCMSD.

DESCRIPTION



This proposed legislation establishes a planning commission for the Kansas City Missouri School District (KSMSD). The commission shall consist of 15 members, including certain ex-officio members and members appointed to represent various interests. The appointed members shall be KCMSD residents.



The planning commission shall conduct research, review and evaluation of key issues related to KCMSD and make recommendations for ways that the district may improve education, improve student performance and meet requirements applicable to school districts.



The proposal also creates an advisory committee which shall service as a liaison between the commission and the community, seeking public input and ideas to help the commission in its efforts.



The State Board of Education may adopt an alternative plan whereby an unaccredited school district may return to accredited status, which may take more than two years, provided the district annually meets all terms and conditions of the plan.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
