ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education assume this proposal would free-up funds as appropriated under Section 160.530.2 RSMo, totaling $150,000 per year in travel, meals, and lodging relating to the work of management teams (which are not required under the terms of this proposal). This freeing up of funds would allow the commissioner of education to address other areas of critical need for learning and development.
Officials from the Secretary of State's Office (SOS) assumed the rules, regulations and forms issued by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education could require as many as 8 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 $492 for FY 2005. 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of this legislation in future years is unknown and depends upon the frequency and length of rules, filed, amended, rescinded or withdrawn.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 act deletes the provisions of the "academically deficient schools" statute and alters the "priority schools" statute in an attempt to consolidate the two school accountability measures.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
