SB 340-FN-A-LOCAL - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT requiring a transportation stipend for charter school pupils.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Education states this bill will increase state education trust fund expenditures by $138,000 in FY 2008, $152,000 in FY 2009, $167,200 in FY 2010, $184,000 in FY 2011, and $202,400 in FY 2012. There will be no fiscal impact on county and local expenditures or state, county, and local revenue.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department of Education states this bill provides $400 per pupil from the state education trust fund to charter schools for transportation costs. Estimated expenditures for FY 2008 are calculated by multiplying actual charter school enrollment by $400. Charter school enrollment is expected to increase 10% annually in future fiscal years.
FY 2008: 345 students x $400 = $138,000
FY 2009: 380 students x $400 = $152,000
FY 2010: 418 students x $400 = $167,200
FY 2011: 460 students x $400 = $184,000
FY 2012: 506 students x $400 = $202,400
