ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Secondary and Elementary Education (DESE) assume the department would require 2.0 FTE Supervisors (2 @ $47,616) to develop an alternative plan whereby an unaccredited school district may return to accredited status. Oversight Division assumes that since the language of the proposal regarding the adoption of an alternative plan is permissive, in the event the State Board of Education elected to adopt an alternative plan, costs associated with development and implementation would be included in the DESE budget process.
Officials from the University of Missouri (UM) stated this proposal would have no fiscal impact to UM as it is currently written.
Officials from the Kansas City Public School Board and Lincoln University did not respond to the request for fiscal note.

DESCRIPTION
This act establishes a Planning Commission for the Kansas City Missouri School District (KCMSD).
The Planning Commission shall consist of 15 members, including certain ex-officio members and members appointed to represent various interests. The appointed members shall be KCMSD residents.
DESCRIPTION (Continued)
The Commission shall conduct research, review and evaluation of key issues related to KCMSD and make recommendations for ways that the district may improve education, improve student performance and meet requirements applicable to school districts.
The act creates an Advisory Committee which shall serve as a liaison between the Commission and the community. The Advisory Committee shall seek public input and ideas to help the Commission in its efforts.
The State Board of Education may adopt an alternative plan whereby an unaccredited school district may return to accredited status, which may take more than two years, provided that the district annually meets all terms and conditions of the plan.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
