Explanation
The bill results in potential costs annually beginning in FY 25 to
certain local and regional school districts and to the Board of Regents.
The bill makes several other changes to education statutes that have no
fiscal impact. These changes are described by section below.
Section 1 makes a technical change regarding teachers at Goodwin
University magnet schools and has no fiscal impact.
Section 2 makes an adjustment to certain first aid training that the
State Department of Education is required to make available to local and
regional school districts. This has no fiscal impact, as it is not expected
to change the cost of any training.
Section 3 has no fiscal impact. It prohibits districts from requiring
parents to participate in school activities as a condition of enrolling their 2024HB-05416-R000591-FN.DOCX Page 2 of 2
child.
Section 4 requires community college campuses to establish
collaborative partnerships with school districts in their region. Any cost
would depend on the provisions of such partnerships.
Section 5 allows child care providers that are exempt from licensure
to administer epinephrine, which has no fiscal impact.
Section 6 requires the State Department of Education, in December
of each fiscal year, to provide projections of Education Cost Sharing
grants by town in the following fiscal year. This has no fiscal impact as
the department has sufficient expertise to do so.
Sections 7 and 8 require districts to notify parents when certain
incidents occur on the day that the incident occurs, rather than 24 hours
following the incident. This procedural change has no fiscal impact.
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to inflation.
