FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION

Officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education stated this proposal would have no effect on their agency or on school districts.



Officials from the Kansas City, Missouri School District stated their district already has a policy regarding the transfer of students to other schools within the district, and assume no fiscal impact with the passage of this proposal.



Officials from the Saint Louis Public Schools stated this proposal would have no fiscal impact on their district.



Officials from the Columbia School District assume cost to communicate the policy outlined in this proposal would not exceed $30,000.



Oversight assumes that the language of the proposal requires schools to develop a policy regarding intra-district transfers and make that policy available to the public. The proposal does not say that the policy must be distributed to the public, only that it be made available to the public. Oversight assumes that many districts already either have a policy in place or costs to develop and make the policy available to the public would not have a significant impact on the districts and could be absorbed within existing resources.

DESCRIPTION



This proposal requires the school board of each school district with multiple attendance centers to, no later than July 1, 2004, develop, and make available to the public, a policy regarding the transfer of that school district's students to other schools within the district. School districts that do not maintain a policy regarding the transfer of that school district's students to other schools within the district are exempt from the provisions of this section.



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