ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Agriculture indicated this proposal would not affect their agency.
Officials from the Mexico School District (MSD) assume this proposal would have very little impact on State Aid, due to the fact the very few schools are in session during the State Fair. Also, the MSD has very few absentees because of other agriculture related activities during the school year.
Officials from the Moniteau County R-I School District indicated this proposal would have little fiscal impact on their district.
According to officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), school districts currently count in their average daily attendance the time during the regular school day the students are involved in instructional activities which includes educational field trips. Summer school programs often include instructional field trips as part of the attendance during the summer school day. The activities authorized by this proposal may already be counted by some district in their average daily attendance if the districts consider them ASSUMPTION (continued)
instructional field trips conducted during the regular school day. DESE indicated there is no way to estimate the number of students who may participate or in which districts they are located, so therefore they were unable to determine the cost of this proposal.
Oversight assumes that if the Average Daily Attendance (ADA) increased by only 100 as a result of this proposal, the financial impact could be significant. Assuming 100 (Increased ADA) x 2.75 (Operating Levy) x $1,395.07 (Guaranteed Tax Base/100) x 1.00 (Proration Factor) equals an increase in basic state aid (before deductions) of $383,644. Oversight therefore assumes the fiscal impact would be expected to be in excess of $100,000.

DESCRIPTION
This proposal asserts that any school district which allows an excused absence for athletics or any other extra-curricular activity shall allow any student to use regularly scheduled instructional time as is reasonably necessary for participation in an officially-sanctioned activity of any Future Farmers of America (FFA) Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), and 4-H programs.
The proposal also provides that students may participate in FFA, FCCLA, and 4-H events and Missouri State Fair competitions while having such participation count as regular school attendance for the purpose of state school aid.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
