FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education assume this proposal will forgive five days that do not have to be made up during the year. The foundation formula funding distribution is based on the actual attendance of students divided by the hours the district was actually open for instruction. Days missed do not increase or decrease funding.



Officials from the Saint Louis Public Schools stated this proposal would have no effect on their district since they had only one day of school closure due to inclement weather this year.



Officials from the Parkway C-2 School District, Mexico School District, and the Jefferson County R-VII School District indicated there would be no significant fiscal impact to their districts.



In response to the introduced version of this proposal, officials from the Jefferson County R-VII School District indicated there would be no significant fiscal impact to their district.



FISCAL IMPACT - State Government FY 2004 FY 2005 FY 2006
$0 $0 $0




FISCAL IMPACT - Local Government FY 2004 FY 2005 FY 2006
$0 $0 $0


FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business



No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal.



DESCRIPTION



This proposal amends an exception to the mandatory days of school attendance to apply to inclement weather or an outbreak of influenza during the 2002-2003 school year.



Further, this proposal delete a provision in that section which allowed a school district which held class for a full school day during the 2000-01 school year on a day in which at least one adjoining school district or at least one other district headquartered in the same county canceled classes due to inclement weather to report its daily attendance for such day based upon the district's average daily attendance for the preceding school year.



The proposal contains an emergency clause.



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