Explanation
The bill requires the State Department of Education (SDE), by
January 1, 2023, in collaboration with the State Education Resource
Center, to develop a model curriculum for grades kindergarten
through eight. This is anticipated to cost the state approximately
$360,0000 within SDE. Due to the timing of the requirements contained
within the bill, SDE will require additional staff. Based on the
development of previous model curriculum, it is estimated that SDE
would require four durational education consultants, with an annual
salary of $90,000 each, to complete the required tasks.
The Out Years
There are no costs in the out years.
