HB 142 FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to teacher evaluation systems.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The New Hampshire Municipal Association states this bill, as amended by the House (Amendment #2013-0462h), may increase local expenditures by an indeterminable amount in FY 2013 and each fiscal year thereafter. There will be no fiscal impact on state, county, and local revenues, or state and county expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The New Hampshire Municipal Association states this bill requires every school board to develop any teacher evaluation and support system to be used in the school district or school for the continual improvement of instruction. The Association states this bill would have no fiscal impact on municipalities which do not have dependent school districts. However, the proposed legislation may increase local expenditures for municipalities that have dependent school districts. The Association states local expenditures may increase in FY 2013 and each fiscal year thereafter for these districts to the extent the development of such support and evaluation systems cannot be absorbed within the district’s budgets. The Association is unable to estimate to what extent, if any, local expenditures may increase as a result of the proposed legislation.
