ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) indicated this proposal would have no fiscal impact on their agency. DESE assumes the proposal could lead to increased advertising costs for school districts; however, DESE does not anticipate significant costs.
Officials from the Kansas City, Missouri School District indicated that while the district does currently advertise positions, they are not advertised for thirty days. There could be additional advertising costs to comply with this proposal.
Oversight assumes additional advertising costs, if any, could be absorbed within existing resources.
Officials from the Saint Louis Public Schools indicated there would be no fiscal impact on their district.

DESCRIPTION
This proposal provides that no seven-director or urban school district shall hire a spouse of any member of such board unless the position has been advertised in a local newspaper for at least thirty days in advance and the names of all applicants as well as the name of the applicant hired for the position are included in the board minutes.
The proposal further amends Section 162.601, RSMo that deals with election of board members in metropolitan school districts by repealing the subsection which states that no one may run for school board who is employed by the school district or who is related to an employee of the school district within the second degree of affinity or consanguinity.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
