Explanation
The bill results in a potential minimal savings to local and regional
school districts by removing a one-credit mastery-based diploma
assessment as a graduation requirement, beginning in FY 24. The bill
allows districts to maintain the assessment as a graduation requirement
if they choose. To the extent districts choose to discontinue the
assessment, there is a potential savings associated with reduced
purchasing of materials.
The bill establishes an education mandate relief task force and
requires the State Department of Education (SDE) to biennially review
and identify obsolete or duplicative mandates. These provisions have
no fiscal impact as it is anticipated that SDE can complete the
requirement with existing resources.
The bill makes a clarifying change regarding school violence
prevention training for school personnel which has no fiscal impact, as
it is not anticipated to change the cost associated with such training.
