ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Secretary of State's Office (SOS) assumed the rules, regulations and forms issued by the State Board of Education could require as many as 14 pages in the Code of State Regulations. For any given rule, roughly half again as many pages are published in the Missouri Register as in the Code because cost statements, fiscal notes and the like are not repeated in the Code. These costs are estimated. The estimated cost of a page in the Missouri Register is $23. The estimated cost of a page in the Code of State Regulations is $27. The actual costs could be more or less the SOS's estimated cost of $861 for FY 2004. The impact of this legislation in future years is unknown and depends upon the frequency and length of rules, filed, amended, rescinded or withdrawn.
Oversight assumes the SOS could absorb the costs of printing and distributing regulations related to this proposal. If multiple bills pass which require the printing and distribution of regulations at substantial costs, the SOS could request funding through the appropriation process. Any decisions to raise fees to defray costs would likely be made in subsequent fiscal years.

DESCRIPTION
This proposal directs the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to award, subject to appropriation, salary supplement grants to priority schools employing high quality teachers. The grants shall be awarded to eligible teachers as salary supplement grants of three thousand dollars. In distributing the grants, preference shall be given to unaccredited and provisionally accredited school districts and school buildings identified as academically deficient. Any salary supplement shall be in addition to the base salary to which the teacher would otherwise be entitled. The proposal instructs the state Board of Education to establish by administrative rule the qualifications for high quality teachers.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
