Oversight notes DESE’s FY 2022 Budget Book included a $1,000,000 Governor’s
Recommendation from General Revenue to “support school innovation teams in implementing
their waivers approved by the State Board of Education”. DESE’s FY 2023 Budget Book does
not appear to include funding to support innovation waivers. Oversight assumes if there is an
appropriation for the program, it will exceed $250,000.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Section 161.214 School Innovation Waiver
Officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) assume the
proposal will have no fiscal impact on their organization. Oversight does not have any
information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for
DESE.
Officials from the Gordon Parks Elementary
their organization.
Oversight notes DESE’s FY 2022 Budget Book included a $1,000,000 Governor’s
Recommendation from General Revenue to “support school innovation teams in implementing
their waivers approved by the State Board of Education”. DESE’s FY 2023 Budget Book does
not appear to include funding to support innovation waivers.
Oversight will show a range of impact to General Revenue of $0 (no additional cost or not
appropriated) to an unknown cost to support school innovation teams. Based on FY 2022’s
Governor Recommend, Oversight assumes the cost could exceed $250,000.
Oversight assumes there could be a cost to implement this program. School districts may have
costs related to improving student readiness and job training, increasing teacher compensation, or
improving teacher recruitment and development. Oversight will show a range of impact of $0
(no school districts participate or no additional cost) to an unknown cost to implement the
waiver. Oversight assumes the net impact on school districts would be $0 if distributions from
General Revenue cover all costs or negative net impact if implementation costs exceed state
distributions.
Rule Promulgation
Officials from the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules assume this proposal is not
anticipated to cause a fiscal impact beyond its current appropriation.
Officials from the Office of the Secretary of State (SOS) note many bills considered by the
General Assembly include provisions allowing or requiring agencies to submit rules and
regulations to implement the act. The SOS is provided with core funding to handle a certain
amount of normal activity resulting from each year's legislative session. The fiscal impact for
this fiscal note to the SOS for Administrative Rules is less than $5,000. The SOS recognizes that L.R. No. 4669H.02P
Bill No. Perfected HCS for HB 2152

this is a small amount and does not expect that additional funding would be required to meet
these costs. However, the SOS also recognizes that many such bills may be passed by the
General Assembly in a given year and that collectively the costs may be in excess of what the
office can sustain with its core budget. Therefore, the SOS reserves the right to request funding
for the cost of supporting administrative rules requirements should the need arise based on a
review of the finally approved bills signed by the governor.

FISCAL DESCRIPTION
This bill provides a definition for "school innovation team" and for "school innovation waiver"
and allows school innovation teams to submit a plan to the State Board of Education (SBE) for a
state innovation waiver for a variety of purposes as outlined in the bill.
Plans submitted to the SBE must include the provision of law for which the waiver is being
requested, as well as demonstrate the necessity of the waiver, provide measurable performance
targets and goals, and demonstrate support for the plan, along with additional requirements as
provided in the bill.
The bill provides the SBE specific criteria for the evaluation of submitted plans and permits the
SBE to make modifications to the plan with the cooperation of the school innovation team.
School innovation waivers are only effective for three years beginning the school year following
the approval and may be renewed. Only one waiver may be in effect per school at a time, and
specific restrictions to statutory requirements relating to school start date, teacher certification,
teacher tenure, or any requirement imposed by federal law, are applicable.
The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is required to publish an annual report
documenting and providing data regarding the requested and granted waivers at the statewide,
district, and school building levels to analyze specified tends and request modifications. This bill
repeals section 161.210, RSMo, relating to the current waiver provision.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not
require additional capital improvements or rental space.
