FISCAL NOTE (HB0145)
The fiscal impact is indeterminable.
Statewide, the districts reported the grades 7-12 drop-outs for the following school years:
1999-2000 1770
2000-2001 1886
2001-2002 1742
2002-2003 1304
The districts do not report the ages for the drop-outs, only the grade in school. Some students reported here may not be drop-outs but have moved out of state and no transcript was requested by the new school. If we could determine the number of students who would remain in school under this legislation, we could calculate the fiscal impact by multiplying that number by $8,833 for FY 2005 and $8,902 for FY 2006.
