ASSUMPTION

Officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) assume the proposal would result in no fiscal impact to DESE. DESE officials assume the proposal would allow school districts to establish youth at risk committees at the discretion of the of the district. Resources existing within the district would be used to support the committee; therefore, the fiscal impact would be insignificant at the local level.
