11LSO-0124.C3

FISCAL NOTE

	FY 2012	FY 2013	FY 2014
NON-ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACT
Anticipated Expenditure Increase:
SCHOOL FOUNDATION FUND 205 EDUCATION SCHOOL FINANCE FOUNDATION-SPECIALS	4,450,000	4,510,000	4,800,000

Source of expenditure increase:

The change to W.S. 21-13-335(d) provides for funding Instructional Facilitators at 60 percent for each full-time equivalent as if the funding model contained the Instructional Facilitator component.  Current appropriations of $16 million per fiscal year fund Instructional Facilitators at about 50 percent of full model funding.

Assumptions:

Estimated increases for FY 2013 and FY 2014 assume that current appropriations of $16 million per fiscal year continue. The expenditure increase in the table above reflects the difference between funding instructional facilitators at 60 percent of the funding model and the current appropriation of $16 million per year.
