FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Section 9.308 - Counselor’s Week
Officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education assume the proposal 
will have no fiscal impact on their organization. 
In response to a similar proposal, HCS HB 1753 (2022), officials from the Office of 
Administration (OA) assumed the provision would have no fiscal impact on their organization. 
Oversight notes that the above mentioned agencies have stated the provision would not have a 
direct fiscal impact on their organization.  Oversight does not have any information to the 
contrary.  Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact on the fiscal note these agencies for this 
provision.
Section 37.850 - Accountability Portal
In response to a similar proposal, HCS HB 1753 (2022), officials  from the Office of 
Administration – Division of Accounting (OA) stated due to the scope of the added reporting 
requirements it is estimated that an additional 1 to 3 staff would be needed. The salary and 
fringes for one intermediate accountant annually would be $61,155.  For 3 staff, the salary and 
fringe amount would be $183,465.  
Oversight assumes OA is provided with core funding to handle a certain amount of activity each 
year. Oversight assumes OA could absorb some of the costs related to this provision, therefore, 
Oversight will reflect 1 FTE as estimated by OA.
In addition, officials from the Office of Administration – Information Technology (ITSD) 
state this legislation would require 172.80 hours of programing changes at $95 per hour for a 
total of $16,416 in FY 2023 and on-going support of $3,365 in FY 2024 and $3,449 in FY 2025 
to implement the changes in this provision.
Oversight notes ITSD assumes that every new IT project/system will be bid out because all their 
resources are at full capacity. For this bill, ITSD assumes they will contract out the programming 
changes needed for the Missouri Accountability Portal. ITSD estimates the project would take 
172.80 hours at a contract rate of $95 for a total cost of $16,416 in FY 2023.  Oversight notes 
that an average salary for a current IT Specialist within ITSD is approximately $54,641, which 
totals roughly $85,000 per year when fringe benefits are added. Assuming that all ITSD 
resources are at full capacity, Oversight assumes ITSD may (instead of contracting out the 
programming) hire an additional IT Specialist to perform the work required from this bill;  L.R. No. 4133H.10C 
Bill No. HCS for SS for SCS for SB Nos. 681 & 662

however, for fiscal note purposes, Oversight will reflect the ITSD estimated cost of $16,416 in 
FY 2023 and on-going support of $3,365 in FY 2024 and $3,449 in FY 2025.
In response to a similar proposal, HB 2359 (2022), officials from the Gordon Parks 
Elementary Charter School stated the proposal would have a negative fiscal impact to the 
district.
Oversight assumes this provision expands the information already made accessible on the 
Missouri Accountability Portal and will now require public school districts to provide that 
information to the Office of Administration.
Oversight assumes this provision could create a fiscal impact to local school districts as it could 
increase staff and resources to prepare and enter data into the Missouri Accountability Portal and 
therefore, Oversight will reflect a $0 to an unknown cost to local school districts.
In response to a similar proposal, HB 2359 (2022), officials from the City of O’Fallon estimated 
the proposal to have a fiscal impact of under $100,000. There would be a fiscal impact if an 
employee has to compile information and upload it into the accountability portal. The exact 
impact cannot be estimated unless it is known how often and what information is requested.
In response to a similar proposal, HB 2359 (2022), officials from the City of St. Louis assumed 
the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their organizations.  
Oversight assumes municipalities and/or counties are currently required to make expenditures 
publically accessible through the Missouri Local Government Expenditure Database.  Oversight 
assumes this provision expands the information currently made available to include any form of 
compensation or benefit made to municipal or county employees. Oversight assumes the 
additional information required to report exists and collecting it can be absorbed within 
municipality and/or county current resources.
Section 160.067 - ARPA Report
Officials from the DESE state the proposed language states “Any school district with more than 
six thousand students that receives moneys under the federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 
shall submit a report to the state board of education before July first following each year such 
moneys are received.” It also states that any report submitted under this section will be made 
publicly available on the department’s website. 
DESE estimates an approximate minimum cost of $40,000 to develop and maintain a new 
MOSIS data collection.

Officials from the DESE assume the provision will have no fiscal impact on their organization.  
Officials from from Department of Social Services (DSS) - Division of Youth Services state 
the Children’s Division may need additional investigators to investigate allegations in schools.  
The Department estimates a need of 0 – 2 staff for this workload.
Oversight will show a range of impact to DSS of $0 (no additional investigators needed) to a 
cost of two investigators. Per DSS, the cost of the FTE will be split between General Revenue 
(56%) and Federal Funds (44%). 
In response to a similar proposal, HB 2095 (2022), officials from the Phelps County Sheriff, 
Kansas City Police DepartmentSt. Louis County Police Department each assumed 
the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their respective organizations. 
Section 160.516 - Curriculum Review
Officials from DESE state the proposed language in this section requires the Department of 
Elementary and Secondary Education to develop a model policy (§160.516.4) for curriculum 
development and review for local school boards to adopt and follow. The department estimates 
two annual meetings would be needed to discuss and develop this model policy. Individuals 
would include:

from each Regional Professional Development Centers (RPDC) regions (4 x 9 = 36) – 13 
teachers from each designation (urban, suburban, rural)

Centers) from MOASSP / MCCTA (principals/CTE professional organization) 
representing rural, suburban, urban (3 designations x 4 levels)

The estimated cost of these annual meetings is $56,865.
In response to a similar proposal, HB 1908 (2022), officials from the Sedalia School District 
200 stated the legislation could have a significant fiscal impact on school districts and create an 
ongoing cost. The annual review, re-visioning, and potential recreation of curriculum on an 
ongoing basis would require a significant work load. Trying to place a cost estimate on such a 
law would greatly depend on the size of the district. The estimated annual cost to that district 
would be approximately $80,000 - $100,000.
Oversight notes if 5% of the 518 school districts in Missouri experienced a cost similar to one 
estimated by the Sedalia 200 School District, the impact is estimated at $2,080,000 (26 *  L.R. No. 4133H.10C 
Bill No. HCS for SS for SCS for SB Nos. 681 & 662

JLH:LR:OD
$80,000). Oversight will show an unknown cost to school districts/school boards to implement 
this provision. 
Section 160.565 Extended Learning Opportunities
Officials from the DESE state this section establishes the Extended Learning Opportunities Act. 
DESE would be required to assist students and parents in completing the enrollment process, 
developing an agreement form for each vendor that parents or students must sign, assisting in 
follow ups on those forms, assuring the student and one parent signs the form, determining if the 
parent has parental rights in place to sign such a form, etc. The Department estimates at least one 
Director FTE at a $51,288 annual salary would be required to comply with these requirements.
The section also requires the development of a statewide policy, including criteria for provider 
approval, basis for credit acceptance and application processes, etc. DESE estimates an 
additional fiscal impact of at least $35,000 for the policy development and modifications to the 
data collection system.
In response to a similar provision in HCS for SB 323 (2021), officials from the Sikeston R-6 
School District assumed the impact would be related to developing new learning opportunities 
for students with new partnerships.
Oversight notes this section requires, beginning with the 2023-2024 school year, the state board 
of education and each local school board to routinely inform students and their parents of the 
ability to earn credit for participating in extended learning opportunities. 
Oversight assumes there could be costs associated with informing and assisting students and 
parents who want to participate in extended learning opportunities. Oversight will show the costs 
as estimated by DESE (could exceed 1 FTE) and an unknown cost to school districts.
Sections 160.2700 & 160.2705 - Adult High Schools
Officials from the DESE and DSS each assume the provision would have no fiscal impact on 
their respective organizations. 
Oversight notes that the above mentioned agencies have stated the provision would not have a 
direct fiscal impact on their organization.  Oversight does not have any information to the 
contrary.  Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact on the fiscal note for this provision.
Section 161.097 - Missouri Advisory Board for Educator Preparation
Officials from DESE estimate a one-time meeting cost to align literacy and reading instruction in 
teacher preparation programs at $40,140.  L.R. No. 4133H.10C

Section 161.214 School Innovation Waiver
Officials from the DESE assume the provision 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 this agency for this provision.
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.
Section 161.241 Statewide Literacy Plan
Officials from DESE state Section 161.241 requires DESE to create an Office of Literacy to 
coordinate staff with roles relating to literacy and align staff work around supporting best 
practices in reading instruction. DESE assumes that one (1) FTE Coordinator of Literacy would 
be required as part of this new office at a cost of $63,480.  
This section also requires DESE to recruit and employ quality teacher trainers with expertise in 
reading instruction. Because this is subject to appropriation DESE estimates a cost that could 
exceed a cost that could greatly exceed $100,000. This would be subject to appropriation so 
DESE will show the costs as $0 – Could Exceed $100,000. This could be funded by the proposed 
creation of the “Evidence-Based Reading Instruction Program Fund."
Oversight assumes this provision creates the Evidence-Based Reading Instruction Program 
Fund. The fund shall consist of moneys appropriated by the General Assembly or from gifts, 
bequests or donations. Funds are to be distributed to school districts to reimburse school districts 
and charter schools for efforts to improve literacy. For simplicity, Oversight assumes on the 
money in the Fund will be used within the year it is received. 
Section 161.700 - Holocaust Education L.R. No. 4133H.10C 
Bill No. HCS for SS for SCS for SB Nos. 681 & 662  
Page 8 of 
April 25, 2022
JLH:LR:OD
Officials from DESE state they would incur meeting costs in the amount of $22,300 for 
curriculum development and implementation. In addition, DESE will incur meeting costs in the 
amount of $66,900 for teacher professional development and framework implementation.
In response to a similar proposal, officials from Southeast Missouri State University, a charter 
school sponsor, stated many schools do not even address the Holocaust. 
Oversight assumes DESE is to create a curriculum for students on the Holocaust for school 
districts to adopt beginning in the 2023-24 school year. School districts shall provide 
professional development for teachers related to Holocaust instruction.
Oversight assumes teachers are already required to obtain a certain number of hours towards 
professional development. 
Oversight does not anticipate a fiscal impact to school districts.  
Section 161.854 - Changes to Individualized Education Programs (IEPs)
Officials from the DESE assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their organization. 
In response to a similar proposal, HCS HB 1753 (2022), officials from the Office of 
Administration - Administrative Hearing Commission assumed the provision would have no 
fiscal impact on their organization. 
Oversight notes that the above mentioned agencies have stated the provision would not have a 
direct fiscal impact on their organizations.  Oversight does not have any information to the 
contrary.  Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact on the fiscal note for this provision.
Oversight assumes the requirements of this provision can be absorbed using existing resources. 
Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero fiscal impact on for this provision for school districts.
Section 161.1050 - Trauma Informed Schools
In response to a similar proposal, HB 1836 (2022), officials from the DESE, Department of 
Mental Health and the DSS each assumed the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their 
respective organizations.  
In response to a similar proposal, HB 743 (2021), officials from the Springfield Public Schools
estimated this proposal could cost $5,000 if the district participates.  
In response to a similar proposal, HB 743 (2021), officials from the High Point R-III School 
District assumed the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their organization.  L.R. No. 4133H.10C 
Bill No. HCS for SS for SCS for SB Nos. 681 & 662  
Page 9 of 
April 25, 2022
JLH:LR:OD
Oversight notes the Springfield Public Schools indicated there could be costs associated with 
implementing this proposal. Oversight will show a range of impact of $0 (no schools participate 
or the additional requirements can be absorbed) to an unknown cost.
Section 162.058 Community Engagement Policy
Officials from the DESE assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their organization. 
In response to a similar proposal, HCS HB 1753 (2022), officials from the OA assumed the 
provision would have no fiscal impact on their organization.  
In response to a similar proposal, HB 1750 (2022), officials from the Office of the State Courts 
Administrator assumed the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their organization.  
Oversight is uncertain if there would be additional costs to school boards/school districts but 
assumes there could be additional costs to implement community engagement policies and 
allowing residents to submit items to be placed on the agenda of a school board meeting 
(depending on the number of agenda items that are submitted to the board). Oversight will show 
a range of impact $0 (no agenda items submitted or no material additional costs stemming from 
the agenda items or implementation of community engagement policies) to unknown costs for 
school boards/school districts.
162.084 - Notification
In response to a similar proposal, HB 942 (2021), officials from the Springfield School District 
assumed a cost for the notification process, goals process – assuming 10% unaccredited and 25 
provisionally accredited – costing $50,000.
Oversight assumes there could costs associated with notifying parents of performance scores 
and academic proficiency and growth goals. 
Sections 162.261, 162.281, 162.291, 162.471, 162.481, 162.491 and 162.563 - Subdistricts
Officials from the DESE assumed the provision will have no fiscal impact on their organization. 
In response to a similar proposal, HB 1804 (2022), officials from the Office of the State Courts 
Administrator assumed the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their organization. 
Officials from the St. Louis County Election Board state it would take their office 15 hours per 
subdistrict that they would have to draw. With that in mind, they estimate that they would have 
to draw 161 subdistricts for the 23 impacted school districts. This would entail 2,415 hours of 
programming at a cost of $24.00 per hour for a total of $57,960. L.R. No. 4133H.10C 
Bill No. HCS for SS for SCS for SB Nos. 681 & 662

April 25, 2022
JLH:LR:OD
Oversight assumes there could be costs for local election authorities to draw sub-district 
boundaries. Oversight assumes this provision is permissive; therefore, Oversight will show a 
range of impact of $0 (no school districts choose to subdivide) to an unknown cost for local 
election authorities for school districts that choose to subdivide.
In response to a similar proposal, HB 164 (2021), officials from the Affton 101 School District, 
Fordland R-III School District and the Marquand-Zion R-VI School District each assumed 
this proposal would have a fiscal impact on their respective organizations. However, these school 
districts did not provide any further information regarding the impact.
In response to a similar proposal, HB 164 (2021), officials from the High Point R-III School 
District and the Malta Bend R-V School District each assumed the proposal would have no 
fiscal impact on their respective organizations. 
Oversight requested additional information from the responding school districts; however, no 
additional information was received. Based on the information available at the time this fiscal 
note was completed, Oversight assumes there is no fiscal impact to these school districts for 
these sections.  
Section 162.720 - Gifted Education
Officials from the DESE assumed the provision will have no fiscal impact on their organization. 
In response to a similar proposal, Perfected HCS HB 1750 (2022), officials from Sikeston R-6 
School District assumed the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their organization. 
In response to a similar proposal, HB 306 (2021), officials from the High Point R-III School 
District assumed the proposal would not fiscally impact their schools.
In response to a similar proposal, from 2021 (SB 151), officials from the Fordland School 
District stated this would require additional funding to establish a gifted program.
In response to a similar proposal from 2020 (SB 645), officials from the Hurley R-I School 
District stated gifted programs are very expensive to run and for small school districts, the 
financial impact of creating sections for 3 or 4 students could be massive at varying grade levels.
In response to a similar proposal from 2020 (SB 645), officials from the Shell Knob School 
District assumed this proposal has a negative fiscal impact.
In response to a similar proposal from 2020 (SB 645), officials from the Fayette R-III school 
district said the annual cost of this proposal is $50,000, and would increase each year. It would 
be the cost to hire a gifted teacher plus any required assessments. L.R. No. 4133H.10C 
Bill No. HCS for SS for SCS for SB Nos. 681 & 662

JLH:LR:OD
In response to a similar proposal from 2019, (HB 112), officials from the Wellsville-
Middletown R-1 School District assumed the proposal had the potential to have a substantial 
negative fiscal impact. 
In response to a similar proposal from 2019, (HB 112), officials from the Lee's Summit R-7 
School District assumed the proposal would be of no cost to the district because it has a state-
approved program.
In response to a similar proposal from 2019, (HB 112), Springfield Public Schools assumed the 
cost to the district would be for additional professional development for non-certificated gifted 
teachers. The program already exists in the district but this change would create a mandate for 
districts. Additional cost above current expenditure is negligible.
Oversight notes, per information from DESE’s 2019 Gifted Advisory Council (GAC) Biennial 
Report, 239 out of 528 Missouri school districts offered gifted programs in 2018, spending 
$42,968,610 for these programs.  Also, per the report, the state reimburses $24,870,140 annually, 
which amount has remained static since 2006.  Therefore, Oversight will assume the costs for 
this expansion will be borne by the school districts. DESE provided there were 37,475 identified 
students in Missouri, and that 5,199 identified students were unserved. However, the GAC 
reports and statistics from the National Center for Education Statistics show there are likely more 
unidentified unserved gifted students in Missouri.
Oversight estimates gifted spending is approximately $1,325 per gifted student ($42,968,610 / 
32,276). If there are 5,199 unserved identified gifted students with a cost of $1,325 to educate, 
Oversight estimates $6,888,675 to provide gifted education to every unserved identified gifted 
student.
Oversight notes that the GAC reports show that districts with gifted programs identify gifted 
students at higher rates than districts without gifted programs. Oversight does not have sufficient 
data to firmly estimate a specific number of unidentified unserved gifted students, but will create 
an instructive estimate based on national statistics.
Oversight notes that in 2014, The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) found states 
identified 6.7% of their public school students as gifted. 6.7% of Missouri’s 883,703 students is 
59,208 gifted students. To match the NCES identified gifted student population average, 
Missouri would need to identify 11,335 ((.067 x 883,703) - 5,199 identified gifted students) more 
students as gifted. Furthermore, to provide gifted services to every currently identified and 
unidentified gifted student would cost $21,907,684 ((11,335 estimated unidentified gifted 
students + 5,199 identified gifted students) x $1,325 cost per student). 
Alternately, Oversight will estimate the cost of each district establishing a gifted program. If the 
289 districts without a gifted program each hired one $50,000 a year teacher to establish a gifted  L.R. No. 4133H.10C

program, this provision would have a $14,450,000 local net direct fiscal impact. Last, DESE 
recommends a maximum of 90 gifted students per full time teacher, which is a $6,000,000 direct 
fiscal impact for 120 teachers, but is likely low because that would likely require some districts 
to share a teacher. 
Section 162.961 - Burden of Proof
Officials from the DESE and the DSS each assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on 
their respective organizations. 
In response to a similar proposal, HCS HB 1753 (2022), officials from the Office of 
Administration - Administrative Hearing Commission assumed the section would have no 
fiscal impact on their organization. 
In response to a similar proposal, HB 2010 (2022), officials from the Taneyville R-II School 
District stated that shifting the burden of proof to the school district could have a very large 
fiscal impact on school districts. This includes increased attorney fees, increased costs for special 
education process coordination fees, not to mention every time a parent requests a one-on-one 
paraprofessional for their child. It's much harder to prove a child would not benefit from an 
individual paraprofessional - every child would benefit from this. If granted, a district is looking 
at approximately $20,000-$25,000 easily for each extra paraprofessional.
In response to a similar proposal, HB 2010 (2022), officials from Republic School District 
stated because the burden of proof currently rests with the parents, it inadvertently prevents 
many due process claims from making it all the way to hearing - which is good for districts and 
for families. This is often because the process of preparing their burden of proof provides parents 
information and legal advice about whether or not the dispute should even be addressed by due 
process procedures.  In addition, bearing the burden of proof provides motivation for parents to 
participate in other alternative dispute resolution strategies prior to moving forward to hearing 
which saves money, time, and emotional capital for all parties.  
If the burden of proof is shifted to the district at the beginning of the process, many of the 
complaints parents threaten to take to due process will be taken all the way to hearing because 
parents will have no motivation to resolve the issue sooner or by way of alternative methods 
because they would bear none of the initial costs related to money, time, effort, and emotion 
which are already being incurred by the district as soon a complaint is filed.  
Regarding due process in general, everyone needs to keep in mind the following:
- Of the three formal dispute resolution procedures provided by the IDEA, due process 
hearings are the most costly in terms of time, fiscal resources, and impact on relationships 
between school personnel and parents.  
- With each due process complaint - even before the complaint is adjudicated - the district is 
forced to expend considerable school district resources which impedes the ability of school  L.R. No. 4133H.10C

personnel to provide enhanced services for all students with disabilities because it devotes 
the district’s precious time and resources to fighting the legal actions of a single parent.   
This is why districts are already motivated to participate in alternate methods of dispute 
resolution.
- The average legal fees for a district involved in a due process hearing were $10,512.50. 
Districts compelled to compensate parents for their attorney’s fees averaged $19,241.38. The 
expenditures associated with the verdict of the due process hearing averaged districts 
$15,924.14. For districts that chose to settle with a parent prior to the adjudication of the due 
process hearing, the settlement costs averaged $23,827.34 (although the Council of School 
Attorneys estimates much higher average costs for all of these categories).  Their own 
district's fees were much higher than this, and the complaint was withdrawn before it even 
went to hearing.
In addition, the stress on teachers and staff who are forced to participate in due process 
complaints, hearings or litigation is significant. A 2016 AASA report cited 12% of school 
administrators who said that more than half of district special education school personnel either 
left the district or requested a transfer out of special education after being involved in a due 
process hearing or subsequent litigation. This is an aspect of due process which is an additional 
increase in costs for the district as they are forced to recruit, hire and train replacement personnel 
in a field which is already difficult to staff.
There is considerable prep time for these legal type events and many districts employ Special 
Education legal guidance for due process hearings. This, combined with the time and attention of 
their District Special Education staff, will without a doubt increase costs for the district. Between 
staff wages and legal guidance they conservatively estimate the financial cost at $10,000 per 
occurrence. Thus, they would need to increase the Special Education budget for these events for 
each year. They would estimate increasing the budget between $25,000 and $40,000 each year as 
a result of the legislation.
In response to a similar proposal, HB 2010 (2022), officials from the North Kansas City 
Schools stated they have not been involved in too many due process hearings as described and 
when they have, their insurance company has taken the lead. They do pay a $25,000 deductible 
per occasion. 
In response to a similar proposal, HB 2010 (2022), officials from the Dallas County R-I School 
District stated there would be a fiscal impact to a school district; however, that amount is 
unknown and would be dependant upon the unique situation each "due process" requires.  
Oversight assumes this provision shifts the burden of proof and production to school districts in 
due process hearings for children with a disability. Oversight assumes this could result in 
additional costs for school districts. Therefore, Oversight will show an unknown cost.
Section 162.974 - High Need Fund L.R. No. 4133H.10C 
Bill No. HCS for SS for SCS for SB Nos. 681 & 662  
Page 14 of 51
April 25, 2022
JLH:LR:OD
Officials from DESE assume this provision would make two specific changes to current law.  
Each of these changes will have impact as discussed below:
1)  The first change adds the following sentence:  "For any school district with an average daily 
attendance of five hundred students or fewer, the calculation of three times the current 
expenditure per average daily attendance shall not include any money reimbursed to a school 
district under this section."
This will result in an additional cost to the High Need Fund of $25,503.
2)  The second change adds the word "special" to section 162.974.1.
Adding the word "special" would allow DESE to deny any education costs (that are not special 
education costs) reported under the High Need Fund.  The ability to deny reimbursement of these 
regular education costs will result in a savings to the state; however, DESE cannot calculate the 
extent of the savings.
In summary, the first change will result in an increased cost of approximately $25,503; however, 
the second change will diminish this cost by some unknown amount.
Oversight will show the impact as calculated by DESE to General Revenue and Lottery Fund 
for the first change. Additionally, Oversight will show a savings from the second change which 
allows DESE to deny reimbursement of regular education (non-special education) costs from the 
High Need Fund. The increased cost from the first change will be somewhat offset by the 
savings from the second change.
Oversight notes the High Need Fund reimburses school districts for the costs of educating 
students that exceed three times the current expenditure per average daily attendance (ADA). 
DESE assumes the provision removes the cost reimbursed by the High Need Fund from the 
calculation of current expenditure per ADA which would lower the current expenditure per ADA 
threshold and increase the potential costs eligible for reimbursement for districts with ADA of 
500 or fewer.

DESE FY 2023 Budget Book
Oversight notes, per DESE’s FY 2023 budget book, the High Need Fund is funded with 
$39,946,351 from General Revenue (67%) and $19,590,000 from the Lottery Fund (33%).
Section 163.016 - Dollar Value Modifier
Officials from DESE state to calculate the impact, the March 2022 formula calculation for 
Gasconade County R-II (037-037) was calculated using the county they are located in that has 
the highest Dollar Value Modifier (DVM) which is Franklin County at 1.093. If the formula is 
fully funded then it would be an additional cost to the state of $1,076,986.67 per year.  If the 
formula is not fully funded then the additional money is going to be shifted from all other school 
districts.  
To calculate the impact, the March 2022 formula calculation for Maries County R-II (063-067) 
was calculated using the county they are located in that has the highest Dollar Value Modifier 
(DVM) which is Osage County at 1.0310.  If the formula is fully funded then it would be an 
additional cost to the state of $150,436.88 per year.  If the formula is not fully funded then the 
additional money is going to be shifted from all other school districts.  
To calculate the impact, the March 2022 formula calculation for Bismark R-V (094-076) was 
calculated using the county they are located in that has the highest Dollar Value Modifier (DVM) 
which is Washington County at 1.092. If the formula is fully funded then it would be an 
additional cost to the state of $313,513.11 per year.  If the formula is not fully funded then the 
additional money is going to be shifted from all other school districts.  
To calculate the impact, the March 2022 formula calculation for West St. Francois County (094-
087) was calculated using the county they are located in that has the highest Dollar Value 
Modifier (DVM) which is Washington County at 1.092. If the formula is fully funded then it 
would be an additional cost to the state of $624,964.84 per year.  If the formula is not fully 
funded then the additional money is going to be shifted from all other school districts.  
In response to a similar proposal, Perfected HB 2493 (2022), officials from the Gasconade 
County R-II School District stated the dollar value modifier will have no impact on other  L.R. No. 4133H.10C

districts as the DVM is based on the funding formula for education. However, allowing 
Gasconade County R-II to claim the Higher Dollar Value Modifier would result in a Dollar 
Value Modifier of 1.093 which adds $1,066,637.00 annually to the budget and allows the district 
to compete with their Franklin County Districts. This is important as they operate a building 
which is located in Franklin County and all Gasconade County students who attend the Gerald 
Elementary School located in Franklin County must attend middle and high school in Gasconade 
County.
Oversight will show a range of impact of $0 (not appropriated) to a total cost to General 
Revenue of $2,165,902 ($1,076,987 + $150,437 + $313,513 + $624,965) as estimated by the 
Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
Oversight will show a range of impact as estimated by the Department of Elementary and 
Secondary Education.
Section 167.225 BRITE Act
Officials from the DESE state the Missouri School for the Blind already provides many of the 
services required in this legislation with the exception of orientation and mobility evaluations at 
the home and paying for eye exams. To implement this legislation, the Department estimates the 
following costs per year: 
The orientation and mobility evaluations described in paragraph (b) of this subdivision shall 
occur in familiar and unfamiliar environments and around the home, school, and community as 
determined age appropriate by the blind students IEP.
40 students X 500 miles X $.43 mileage rate = $8,600
If an LEA requires an eye report, the LEA shall bear all costs associated with obtaining such 
report. LEAs shall not delay an evaluation for eligibility based on the absence or delay of such 
report.
40 students X $300 eye exam = $12,000
Total Cost = $20,600
Officials from the DSS assume the provision will have no fiscal impact on their organization. 
Oversight assumes this provision could result in additional costs to school districts if it imposes 
duties beyond those that school districts are already performing. Oversight will show a range of 
impact to school districts of $0 (no additional costs or can be absorbed) to an unknown cost.  
Section 167.268 - Develop Reading Guidelines L.R. No. 4133H.10C 
Bill No. HCS for SS for SCS for SB Nos. 681 & 662

Officials from DESE estimate a one-time meeting cost to develop DESE guidelines for the 
Office of Literacy at $44,600.
Sections 167.640 and 167.645 - Reading Remediation 
In response to a similar proposal, HCS HB 1556 (2022), DESE stated the proposal could impact 
the call to the foundation formula but they would have no way to estimate the impact. 
Oversight assumes there could be an increased call to the foundation formula if remediation 
hours outside of the traditional school day may count toward the calculation of average daily 
attendance (Section 167.640). Oversight will show a range of impact of $0 (no additional 
remediation hours outside the traditional school day) to an unknown cost to General Revenue for 
an increase in average daily attendance.  
One full term of attendance is 1,044 hours per student. For each full term of attendance, the 
average state funding per ADA is approximately at $5,066 (per DESE) or $4.85 per hour of full 
term attendance. However, Oversight notes this is an approximation of the cost as the state aid 
payment can vary greatly by district.
Oversight estimates to reach a revenue impact of $250,000 would require a change in attendance 
hours of approximately 52,000 hours or approximately 50 ADA (52,000 * $4.85 = $252,200). 
Oversight notes an increase of 50 ADA is approximately a 0.01% increase in total ADA 
(50/843,650); therefore, Oversight assumes it is possible the cost could exceed $250,000.  
In response to a similar proposal, SB 54 (2021), officials from the Springfield R-XII School 
District stated the total fiscal impact to the district is $6,562,500.
In response to a similar proposal, SB 54 (2021), officials from the High Point R-III School 
District assumed the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their organization. 
In response to a similar proposal, HB 2470 (2020), officials from the Park Hill School District 
anticipated a fiscal impact to hire additional staff to implement and monitor the extended 
requirements. Estimated cost would exceed $100,000 annually.
In response to a similar proposal, HB 2470 (2020), officials from the Shell Knob School 
District assumed that bill would have a negative fiscal impact.
In response to a similar proposal, HB 2470 (2020), officials from the Wellsville -Middletown 
School District estimated needing at least one possibly two additional elementary teachers, at a 
cost of $92,000 per year.
Oversight assumes these provisions would require school districts and charter schools to 
implement remediation strategies such as: L.R. No. 4133H.10C

school districts, Oversight is uncertain if other school districts would experience costs similar to 
those reported by the Springfield School District. Oversight assumes additional resources, 
namely additional teacher time, assessments and materials, will be required to implement these 
changes. Therefore, Oversight will show an unknown cost to school districts that could be 
significant.

Officials from the DESE and the Department of Mental Health each assumed the provision 
would have no fiscal impact on their respective organizations.  
Oversight received no responses from school districts estimating the fiscal impact of this 
provision, and presents this fiscal note on the best current information available. Upon the receipt 
of additional responses, Oversight will review to determine if an updated fiscal note should be 
prepared and seek the necessary approval to publish a new fiscal note.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), 8.5 percent of Americans needed 
treatment for a problem related to illicit drug or alcohol use in 2014. 
Oversight assumes if 8.5 percent of the 4,043 students currently enrolled in the Kansas City 
Public School District (grades 9 through 12) needed substance use treatment, this could result in 
approximately 344 students being eligible to attend a recovery high school. Oversight assumes 
this number could be higher as non-resident students are also eligible to attend.    
Based on the study, Recovery High Schools: A Descriptive Study of Programs and Students
Oversight notes students were primarily referred to recovery high schools by treatment 
programs, parents and the juvenile justice system. Of the schools in the study, most had small 
enrollments ranging from 12 to 25 students with a median capacity of 35 students. The study 
indicated students reported a reduction in the use of drugs, an increase in attendance and a 
reduction in repeated problems with the law. 
Oversight assumes this provision states the sending district of an eligible student shall pay 
tuition to the recovery high school.   However, public schools may not see a 1:1 reduction in the 
costs associated with those students transferring out. Oversight also notes that such students 
recovering from substance use or dependency may not regularly attend school, or may require 
more expensive attention from school. Because there are no responses, and several factors that 
may save or cost school districts or recovery high schools, this note will show an impact ranging 
from a unknown savings to an unknown cost net direct fiscal impact to school districts and 
recovery high schools. 
Oversight notes this provision is permissive, therefore Oversight will range the fiscal impact 
from $0 (a recovery high school is not established) to the range of potential fiscal impact.
Section 168.021 - Provisionally Certified Teachers & Visiting Scholars’ Certificate
 
Officials from the DESE assumed the provision would have no fiscal impact on their 
organization. This provision modifies 168.021, which appears to change requirements that must 
be completed when having a provisional certification. Since that is still a certification attendance 
hours for students taught can still be claimed for state aid and has no fiscal impact.  L.R. No. 4133H.10C 
Bill No. HCS for SS for SCS for SB Nos. 681 & 662  
Page 20 of 51

JLH:LR:OD
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary.  Therefore, Oversight will reflect a 
zero impact on the fiscal note for DESE for this provision.
Section 168.036 Substitute Teacher Certificates 
Officials from DESE state this section allows the State Board of Education to grant a certificate 
to any highly qualified individual with certain expertise or experience in the Armed Forces, 
explained further in the bill, that may not meet any other qualifications if the school board of the 
seeking school district votes to approve that individual to substitute teach at that district. Doing 
so would require a new application and process for districts to recommend these individuals at 
which the department estimates a cost of $40,000. 
Officials from DESE state, currently, substitute certificates expire at the end of four years and 
may be renewed. The new language in this subsection would allow substitute certificates to 
expire at any point in time and will have a substantial fiscal impact to the department. The 
substitute certification process will need to be redesigned to comply with this language as well as 
a new reporting database will need to be created for districts to notify the department on 
substitute statuses. DESE estimates this will cost around $70,000. The department also estimates 
an additional FTE for an Administrative Assistant $27,960 annual salary, will be needed as well.  
Oversight will show the costs as estimated by DESE.
Officials from Public Schools and Education Employee Retirement Systems (PSRS/PEERS) 
state this bill allows individuals who are receiving a retirement benefit from PSRS or PEERS to 
substitute teach on a part-time or temporary substitute basis in a covered school district without a 
discontinuance of the person's retirement benefit. The provisions in this bill only apply to part-
time or temporary substitute teaching. As specified in this bill if an individual chooses to work 
for a covered employer after retirement under this provision they will not contribute to additional 
retirement benefits. This bill includes an emergency clause and the provisions of this bill will 
expire on July 1, 2025 when the current statutory language will resume.
In response to a similar proposal, Perfected HCS HB 2304 (2022), the PSRS/PEERS’ actuaries 
noted that suspension of limitations on working after retirement for part time or temporary 
substitute teaching positions through June 30, 2025 could result in either no fiscal cost or a small 
fiscal cost for PSRS and PEERS, depending on the number of members who change their 
retirement behavior as a result. The cost could be significant if the suspension of limitations on 
working after retirement continues to be extended beyond June 30, 2025. 
The current provisions for working after retirement in sections 169.560 and 169.660 strike a 
delicate balance between creating a pool of qualified individuals that can be employed to provide 
part-time or temporary substitute teaching or other services, but without permitting or 
incentivizing employers to hire multiple retired members on a part-time basis in lieu of full-time 
employees, or permitting or incentivizing active members to retire early, commence their  L.R. No. 4133H.10C

retirement allowance, and then return to work on a full-time basis in order to effectively receive 
two incomes. Such permission and behavior could have a significant impact on the cost of the 
Systems. The fiscal impact to the PSRS and PEERS will be based on actual behavior 
experienced by the Systems.
It is noted that a temporary suspension of certain statutes and regulations related to members 
working after retirement was included in the state of emergency order in 2020 in response to the 
Coronavirus pandemic. The suspension was intended to address an anticipated shortage of 
qualified substitute teachers and temporary employees that would be needed by school districts 
during the pandemic. The temporary suspension was in place through December 31, 2021. HCS 
for HB 2304 suspends the same provisions in statute through June 30, 2025, but only for part 
time or temporary substitute teaching positions. 
The Systems’ actuaries emphasized the importance of the temporary nature of the proposal (only 
through June 30, 2025 as currently proposed in HCS for HB 2304) and its application to only 
part time or temporary substitute teaching. Permanent increase or removal of these limitations 
would likely come with a significant fiscal cost and would go against the fundamental goal of a 
pension system to provide income in retirement, not during active employment.
The table below summarizes the estimated impact to the liabilities and the actuarially determined 
contribution rate of both PSRS and PEERS associated with possible behavior changes discussed 
in the attached cost statement from the Systems’ actuaries. While the actuaries show two 
scenarios with a fiscal cost, they note that it is also possible for PSRS and PEERS to experience 
no fiscal cost related to these changes depending on whether or not active members and 
employers change their behavior as a result. To the extent there is little to no change in behavior, 
the results would be consistent with the baseline results shown below. It is important to review 
the attached cost statement in its entirety when reviewing the data noted below: L.R. No. 4133H.10C

Oversight will show a range of impact for this provision of $0 (no change in behavior) to an 
unknown cost that could exceed $4,413,374 to member employers for increases in employer 
contributions (0.14% / 2 * $5,039,838,429 PSRS covered payroll 2021) plus (0.07%/2 * 
$1,758,535,339 PEERS covered payroll 2021). 
Officials from the Department of Public Safety - Missouri Highway Patrol (MHP) state the 
proposed legislation could increase the state fee from $20 up to $50 depending on the number of 
background checks performed up to five, resulting in a net increase to the Criminal Record 
System (CRS) Fund. The range is calculated based on the current state fee and the proposed 
language that increases the state fee up to $50. 
On average, the Patrol processes approximately 11,000 criminal record checks specific to 
substitute teacher certification and employment, of which approximately 145 per year resulted in 
checks for the same individual for different school districts and completed in the same week. 
However, an increase for the fund could be noted for the potential increase in the state fee, 
depending on the number of background checks performed.
Regardless of the state fee structure, this proposal would require technical system changes to the 
Missouri Automated Criminal History System to be completed by the MSHP’s Criminal History 
vendor. The estimated cost of $165,000 is based on previous projects with a similar scope of 
work. L.R. No. 4133H.10C

Oversight will show the cost for system modifications to the Missouri Automated Criminal 
History System and an unknown amount of revenue from the increased fees.
Section 168.037 - Substitute Teacher Survey and Data Collection
Officials from assume this requires DESE to create and maintain a web-based survey for 
collecting anonymous information from substitute teachers in Missouri public schools.  DESE 
estimates an initial costs that could exceed $100,000 for the design, programming, and testing of 
a system that can collect real time information from substitute teachers that will be available 
anytime for schools and DESE to use to study. DESE also estimates annual maintenance and 
storage costs of $10,000 annually.
Oversight assumes this provision requires DESE to create and maintain a web-based survey for 
collecting information related to substitute teachers. Oversight will show the costs as estimated 
by DESE. 
Oversight also assumes this provision requires school districts and charter schools to provide 
data to DESE regarding certain information related to substitute teachers. Oversight will show a 
range of impact of $0 (no additional cost or can be absorbed) to an unknown cost to collect the 
data for school districts and charter schools.
In response to a similar proposal, HB 608 (2021), officials from the Affton 101 School District, 
High Point R-III School District and the Springfield R-XII School District each assumed the 
proposal would have no fiscal impact on their respective organizations. 
Section 168.205 - Superintendent Sharing
In response to a similar proposal, HCS HB 1753 (2022), officials from DESE stated because 
they are unsure of how many school districts will participate, DESE will provide a range for the 
estimated impact of $1,440,000 to $8,940,000. Shown below are the estimated impacts based on 
different levels of participation.

The calculation is based on 2020 average daily attendance (ADA) due to 2021 ADA being 
impacted by COVID 19.
ADA Under Number of Districts Cost

200 ADA 130 $3,900,000.00
100 ADA 48 $1,440,000.00
Funding for this increase would most likely be General Revenue as no other funding was 
specified to pay this additional cost.
Oversight notes, according to a DESE report, previously there was only one superintendent that 
was shared between school districts.  The Malta Bend R-V School District and the Hardeman R-
X School District had such an agreement (Paul Vaillencourt).  These school districts no longer 
appear to share a superintendent. 
Oversight will show a range of impact of $0 (no districts sharing a superintendent) to an amount 
that could exceed $60,000 in state funding based on two districts (2 x $30,000 each) sharing a 
superintendent.  
Section 168.500 and 168.515 - Career Ladders
In response to a similar proposal, HB 2493 (2022), officials from DESE stated due to the need to 
approve Teacher Career Plans in the proposed language, DESE estimates a need for 1.0 FTE at 
the Supervisor level to manage the program. 
Oversight notes the need to approve Teacher Career Plans is language that exists in current law 
and is not a new requirement of this proposal. Therefore, Oversight will not show the cost for 
one additional FTE. 
Officials from DESE state, in Fiscal Year 2011, $37,467,000 was appropriated by the General 
Assembly for Career Ladder. That was the last time that the program was funded and DESE will 
base the fiscal impact on that amount. Because the language in this section (168.515.2) reverses 
the matching percentages and sets the state match at 60 percent and the local funding at 40 
percent, the department estimates an impact of up to $56,200,050. Because this amount is subject 
to appropriation the Department will show a range of $0 - $56,200,050 (plus FTE costs).
Oversight assumes current law already provides for funding at forty percent; however, this 
funding is not currently appropriated by the General Assembly. Oversight assumes the impact 
from this proposal is the difference between funding the Career Ladder program at forty percent 
(current law) versus funding at sixty percent (proposed law). Oversight will show a cost of $0  L.R. No. 4133H.10C

(not appropriated) to a cost that could exceed $18,733,050 ($56,200,050 - $37,467,000) as 
appropriated by the General Assembly.
In addition, Oversight assumes this proposal expands the career ladder criteria for admission and 
stage achievement and reduces the number of years needed for eligibility. Oversight assumes this 
provision could result in an increase in eligible teacher compensation if appropriated. 
Oversight assumes these funds would transfer from General Revenue to the Excellence in 
Education Revolving Fund into the Career Ladder Forward Funding Fund before being 
distributed to qualify school districts. For simplicity, Oversight assumes all funds are utilized in 
the year they are received. 
Section 169.596 - Public School Retirement System
Officials from the Public Schools and Education Employee Retirement Systems state they 
have an actuary firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC), that prepares actuarial cost statements on 
any proposed legislation as well as the annual actuarial valuation reports for the Systems. This 
legislation has been submitted to them for an actuarial statement. As soon as the actuarial 
statement is available, the retirement systems will be amending the fiscal response to include 
PWC’s analysis. 
This legislation makes changes to the critical shortage statute, 169.596 for the Public School 
Retirement System of Missouri (PSRS) and the Public Education Employee Retirement System 
(PEERS). 
This proposal allows retirees to return to work under the Critical Shortage Exemption statute up 
to four years versus the current two-year restriction. 
In response to a similar proposal, HB 2114 (2022), the actuarial cost estimate submitted by 
PSRS/PEERS stated: 
Contributions to PSRS due to the critical shortage modifications would result in an actuarial 
gain, as no additional benefits would be accrued and since employer contributions would be 
made on all earnings for each retiree rehired under a critical shortage declaration. Therefore, they 
estimate the impact of the proposed critical shortage modifications to be an insignificant fiscal 
gain to PSRS. 
Contributions to PEERS due to the critical shortage modifications would result in an actuarial 
gain, as no additional benefits would be accrued and since employer contributions would be 
made on all earnings for each retiree rehired under a critical shortage declaration. Therefore, 
PWC estimates the impact of the proposed critical shortage modifications to be an insignificant 
fiscal gain L.R. No. 4133H.10C

Oversight assumes any fiscal impact resulting from this provision would be insignificant and 
therefore will reflect a zero fiscal impact in this fiscal note for this provision. 
Section 170.014 - Reading Instruction Act
Oversight assumes there could be costs to school districts to expand reading programs through 
grade five. Currently, the reading programs are established for kindergarten through grade three. 
Section 170.018 Computer Science Course
Officials from DESE assume this proposal would require updates to the June Core Data/MOSIS 
cycle to accommodate the bill’s requirements:
Adding a field to the MOSIS collection for Computer Science course description: 
$10,000 (one-time); $3,000 maintenance (annual) 
Adding a field to the MOSIS collection for Computer Science applicable standards: $10,000 
(one-time); $3,000 maintenance (annual).
DESE projects programming for the annual report to be published to cost $25,000 (one time 
cost) for a total cost of $45,000 ($10,000 + $10,000 + $25,000) and an ongoing cost of $6,000 
($3,000 + $3,000). 
The legislation also requires the department to add 1.0 FTE Computer Science 
Supervisor/Director ($51,288).
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect the 
costs provided by DESE for fiscal note purposes.
In response to a previous version, officials from the High Point R-III School District assumed 
the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their organization.
Oversight assumes this proposal requires each school to offer at least one computer science 
course. Oversight is uncertain how many schools currently offer computer science courses. 
Oversight assumes there could be costs for those school districts that are not currently offering a 
computer science course; therefore, Oversight will show an unknown cost to school districts 
beginning in FY 2024. 
Section 170.025 - Cursive Writing
Officials from the DESE assume the provision 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 for this section.   L.R. No. 4133H.10C

In response to a similar proposal, HB 108 (2021), officials from the Bowling Green R-1 School 
District state this proposal is redundant. This is already a communications arts standard in their 
state that requires students in 2nd and 3rd grade to write legibly (print, cursive).  
In response to a similar proposal, HB 108 (2021), officials from the Fordland R-III School 
District, High Point R-III School District and the Shell Knob 78 School District each 
assumed the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their respective organizations.  
In response to a similar proposal, HB 54 (2019), the Springfield Public Schools said it would 
cost $85,000 in materials, assessments and teacher time.
Oversight notes the English Language Arts Missouri Learning Standards
standard for Grade 2 and Grade 3 to “write legibly (print, cursive)”. 
Based on the cost estimate provided by the Springfield Public Schools and the district’s 4
th
 and 
5
th
 grade enrollment numbers, Oversight estimates a per student cost of approximately $21 
($85,000/4,087).  
The statewide total enrollment for Grade 4 and Grade 5 is 129,695 (for the 21-22 school year). 
Assuming a per student cost of $21, Oversight estimates the cost to implement this provision at 
$2,273,595. However, Oversight notes some districts indicated there would be no fiscal impact 
from this provision; therefore, Oversight will show a cost of less than $2,273,595. 
Section 170.036 Computer Science Task Force
Officials from state the proposed legislation does not indicate who is responsible for any 
costs associated with the Computer Science Education Task Force. If DESE is financially 
responsible, the Department estimates a total of four meetings per year for the 13 member task 
force.  This cost would cover a two year time span, for a total meeting cost of $84,740.
Oversight will show the costs for two Task Force meetings at $42,370 each as estimated by 
DESE beginning in FY 2023. Oversight assumes the Task Force is dissolved at the end of FY 
2024. 
In addition, Oversight will show a potential unknown cost for on-going evaluation and 
implementation of task force findings. Oversight assumes this cost would be dependent on the 
findings and recommendations of the task force. 
Oversight notes, per the Tennessee Computer Science State Education Plan, task force 
recommendations included regional trainings ($30,713), grants to educators ($300,000) and K-8 
computer science standards and trainings ($84,000). Based on these estimates, Oversight will  L.R. No. 4133H.10C

show a range of impact of $0 (cost of implementing task force finding can be absorbed with 
existing appropriations) to an unknown cost that could exceed $250,000.  
In response to a similar proposal, SB 659 (2022), officials from the Department of Higher 
Education and Workforce Development, Office of the Governor and Missouri House of 
Representatives each assumed the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their respective 
organizations. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight 
will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for these agencies.  
Officials from the Missouri State Senate anticipate a negative fiscal impact to reimburse 2 
senators for travel to task force meetings. It will cost approximately $255.78 per meeting.
Oversight assumes the General Assembly could absorb the cost of the Task Force meetings 
within the current appropriation levels and will not reflect a fiscal impact.
Section 170.047 Suicide Prevention Training
Officials from the DESE assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their organization. 
In response to a similar proposal from 2020 (HCS for HBs 1820 & 1470), officials from the 
Normandy Schools Collaborative estimated that this additional required training will cost 
$8,000 or more per year to find time for the additional training, identify and pay trainers, and pay 
extra time extra duty if necessary for teachers to attend if the SP schedule is already packed full.
Oversight assumes this proposal allows, but does not require all teachers, principals, and 
licensed educators in each district to attend suicide prevention training which shall count as two 
hours of professional development under section 168.021. Oversight assumes this proposal 
would not have a fiscal impact as the teachers are already required to have a set number of 
professional development hours, and suicide education is permissive.
Section 170.048 and 173.1200 - Pupil Identification Cards
In response to a similar proposal, HCS HB 2136 (2022), officials from University of Central 
Missouri assumed this proposal would have a minimal impact.
In response to a similar proposal from 2020 (HB 1820), officials from the University of 
Missouri System assumed, as written, the proposed bill would have little to no fiscal impact on 
the University. Many of the four UM universities already include some, if not all, of this 
information on their student ID cards. If provision 173.1200 Section 7 Subsection (2) were 
removed relating to the use of existing supplies, the fiscal impact of this legislation would be 
significant. L.R. No. 4133H.10C

In response to a similar proposal, HB 304 (2022), officials from State Technical College of 
Missouri stated this proposal would have a negative fiscal impact on the College.  Their current 
student ID printer will not allow information to be printed on the back of the ID card. 
In response to a similar proposal, officials from the Missouri State University assumed the 
proposal would have no fiscal impact on their organization. 
In response to the previous version, officials from the St. Charles Community College assumed 
the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their organization. 
Oversight assumes these provisions require school districts, charter schools and public 
institutions of higher education that issue pupil identification cards to have printed on the card a 
specific number that routes calls and text messages to the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. 
Oversight assumes the provision could result in one-time additional costs for equipment or 
supplies. Oversight will show a range of impact of $0 (any additional cost is minimal and can be 
absorbed with existing resources) to an unknown cost.
Section 170.375 - One Class Period Devoted to Black Americans Throughout History
Oversight also assumes these requirements can be incorporated into existing lesson plans and, 
therefore, Oversight will not show a fiscal impact to school districts.
Section 171.033 - Inclement Weather 
Officials from the DESE estimate a minimal impact from the proposed legislation as it would 
result in ITSD costs to modify edits in Web Applications (webpage school districts/charters use 
to submit data to the department). 
OA-ITSD assumes every new IT project/system will be bid out because all ITSD resources are at 
full capacity. IT contract rates are estimated at $95/hour. It is assumed modifications will require 
120.96 hours for a cost of $11,491 in FY 2023 with continuing costs of $2,356 in FY 2024 and 
$2,415 in FY 2025.
Per DESE’s School Calendar Requirements publication, “A half-day Kindergarten or 
Prekindergarten program must provide a minimum of five hundred twenty-two hours of actual 
pupil attendance and shall also include thirty-six make-up hours for possible loss of attendance 
due to inclement weather.” Oversight assumes that this provision would potentially reduce the 
number of hours required for makeup days on a proportional basis. 
Oversight assumes this section could result in savings if it reduces transportation costs, hourly 
wages, food service costs, etc. Oversight will show a range of impact of $0 (no impact) to an 
unknown savings to school districts from a reduction in the number of hours required. L.R. No. 4133H.10C

Section 173.831 - Workforce Diploma Program
Officials from DESE assume they may require 1.0 FTE at a minimum at the supervisor level in 
order to publish the request for qualifications, review the applicants against the statutory 
requirements, collect data, run reports, and make payments. 
As of 2017, there are 453,226 Missourians 21 years of age or older who have not received a high 
school diploma. It is estimated that approximately 1 percent (4,532) to 3 percent (13,597) of 
these individuals may participate in this program. Because payments made to providers are to be 
made in accordance with a schedule set with the Department, DESE will make several 
assumptions for payment amounts based on previous versions of the bill. 
Completion of each half unit of high school credit - $250
Attaining an employability certificate - $250
Attaining an industry recognized credential (50 hours) - $250
Attaining an industry recognized credential (75 hours) - $500
Attaining an industry recognized credential (100 hours) - $250
Attaining a high school diploma - $1,000
The Department estimates that approximately half of the individuals that would participate in the 
program may earn their high school diploma each year which would result in a cost between 
$2,266,000 (2,266 students earn a diploma) and $6,799,000 (6,799 students earn a diploma) per 
year. 
The Department also estimates that each student participating in the program would earn at least 
one full unit of high school credit each year resulting in an additional amount of $2,266,000 
(4,532 students earn at least one full unit of high school credit) and $6,799,000 (13,597 students 
earn at least one full unit of high school credit) per year. 
If 10 percent of graduates also earned an industry recognized credential at an average of $500 the 
Department estimates an additional cost of $113,300 (2,266 x 10% x $500) to $339,950 (6,799 x 
10% x $500).
If 50 percent of graduates also earned an employability skills certificate, the Department 
estimates an additional cost of $283,250 (2,266 x 50% x $200) to $849,875 (6,799 x 50% x 
$250).
$2,266,000 - $6,799,000 for high school diploma achievements  
$283,250 - $849,875 for employability skills certificate achievements

Because this provision is subject to appropriation, the Department will show a range of $0 (no 
money appropriated for the program) to $14,857,084 starting in FY23.
At the time this fiscal note was presented, DESE had not yet provided salary, fringe and 
equipment costs for the necessary FTE. Oversight estimated the cost based on a similar proposal 
from the previous year, HB 733 (2021). 
Oversight will show a range of impact of $0 (not appropriated) to the costs as estimated by 
DESE as a transfer from General Revenue to the Workforce Diploma Program Fund. 
Oversight will show the costs as estimated by DESE to the Workforce Diploma Program Fund 
for reimbursements to program providers. Oversight assumes funds will be used within the year 
they were received. 
Officials from the Office of the State Treasurer 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 this agency.  
Oversight assumes DESE is required to issue a request for interested program providers before 
September 1, 2022. Program providers must be approved by October annually and students may 
start enrolling in November annually. Oversight assumes DESE could request and approve 
program providers any time before September 2022 and after the effective date of this proposal 
August 28, 2022. Therefore, Oversight will show cost beginning in FY 2023. 
Section 178.694 - Imagination Library of Missouri Program
Officials from DESE estimate the need for one (1) FTE Program Specialist at an annual salary of 
$45,443.  The Program Specialist would manage the contracts and/or communication with the 
non-profit ("Dolly Parton's Imagination Library Affiliate"), oversee the activities required, and 
be responsible for communication and collaboration with the school districts regarding the 
implementation of this program.
Beginning in school year 2023-24 and continuing in each subsequent school year, school districts 
shall, in partnership with the affiliate, give one reading selection to each eligible child in the 
school district in each month, beginning as early as the child's birth month through the month in 
which the child reaches five years of age. Subject to appropriation, the costs of giving such 
reading selections to eligible children shall be reimbursed to each school district from the 
“Imagination Library of Missouri Program Fund.” 
According to the CDC Vital Statistics Surveillance Report, there were approximately 70,000 
children born in Missouri in 2020. Assuming a child could receive up to 60 books before turning 
five years of age and an average cost of $30 per year per child, DESE estimates a cost of up to 
$10,500,000.  L.R. No. 4133H.10C

JLH:LR:OD
Number of children ages 0 – 5: 350,000 (70,000 births/year * 5)
Cost per child/year: $30
Total yearly costs: $10,500,000
Because this amount is subject to appropriations DESE will show a range of $0 - $10,500,000. 
In response to a similar proposal, HB 2567 (2022), officials from Sikeston R-6 School District 
state this would be a great program, but are concerned if Missouri would remain committed to 
reimbursing school districts this new financial expenditure. Districts would incur the cost of 
purchasing and shipping the books to the homes of families within the district.  It would be 
beneficial if Missouri could provide a means for school districts to provide information prior to 
ordering the books and DESE provided the funds to purchase the books instead of a 
reimbursement process.
Oversight assumes this provision requires each school district to provide each child birth to five 
with one reading selection per month starting beginning in the 2023-2024 school year (FY 2024).  
Oversight notes, per the U.S. Census Bureau Missouri QuickFacts, persons under 5 years of age 
account for 6% of Missouri’s population or 370,091. Per the Imagination Library website, a $25 
dollar donation can provide a book to a child each month for a year. Oversight assumes the costs 
to school districts are estimated at $9,252,275 per year (370,091 * $25) beginning in FY 2024. 
Oversight assumes school districts shall be reimbursed for this cost from the Imagination 
Library of Missouri Program Fund. Oversight assumes this provision requires the general 
assembly to appropriate at least $5 million annually for this purpose. For simplicity, Oversight 
assumes all funds will be used within the year they are received.  
If the costs of providing the reading selections exceeds the available appropriations, Oversight 
assumes the school districts will bear the remaining cost. 
Section 186.080 - Literacy Advisory Council
Officials from DESE estimate ongoing annual meeting costs to maintain the Literacy Advisory 
Council at $44,600.
 
Sections 302.010 and 304.060 - Other Vehicles for Transportation of Students
Officials from Department of Revenue (DOR) state section 302.010.21 changes the definition 
of school bus to mean any vehicle designed for carrying more than ten passengers used to 
transport students for educational purposes. L.R. No. 4133H.10C 
Bill No. HCS for SS for SCS for SB Nos. 681 & 662  
Page 33 of 51
April 25, 2022
JLH:LR:OD
Section 304.060.1 gives school districts the authority to use vehicles other than school buses for 
the purpose of transporting school children. The state board of education may adopt rules and 
regulations governing the use of other vehicles used to transport school children, except vehicles 
operating under sections §387.400 to §387.440. The draft language further removes the 
requirement for drivers of such vehicles to meet the provisions of §302.272, thus removing the 
requirement to meet school bus endorsement testing, issuance, driver history and background 
check requirements. It also requires vehicles other than school buses to transport no more 
children than the manufacturer suggests appropriate, and meet any additional requirements of the 
school district.
The proposed change to remove the requirements of §302.272, may have an impact on the safety 
of students being transported in vehicles other than a commercial class school bus. Under current 
requirements drivers applying for a non-commercial Class E with a school bus endorsement are 
required to complete additional driver history and background checks and regular drug testing. 
This also includes the current mandatory annual skills provisions to ensure driving proficiency 
for those school bus endorsed drivers age 70 and over. School districts are required to report 
failed drug tests to the Department for suspension of school bus endorsements. Drivers without 
school bus endorsements may not be held to the same requirements.
Administrative Impact
To implement the proposed legislation, the DOR will be required to:

to include the new information (online and printed versions).
FY23-Driver License Bureau
Research/Data Analyst 15 hrs. @ $24.29 per hr. =$364
Administrative Manager 10 hrs. @ $26.37 per hr. =$264

Associate Research/Data Analyst 15 hrs. @ $19.46 per hr. =$292
Associate Research/Data Analyst 15 hrs. @ $19.46 per hr. =$292
Total $584
Total Costs =$1,212
The DOR anticipates being able to absorb these costs. However, until the FY23 budget is final, 
the Department cannot identify specific funding sources. If multiple bills pass that require 
Department resources, FTE/funding will be requested through the appropriations process.
The proposed legislation would require updates to the Missouri Driver Guide that could be 
absorbed. Decisions made during implementation could result in a requirement for destruction 
and replacement of current driver guide supplies and printing costs outside of normal reordering. L.R. No. 4133H.10C

The printing costs of the driver guide are currently covered by the Missouri State Highway Patrol 
(MSHP).
Oversight assumes these costs are minimal and can be absorbed by the DOR and MSHP.
Officials from the DESE and Department of Public Safety - Missouri Highway Patrol each 
assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their respective organizations.   
Oversight does not anticipate an impact to school districts.
Responses regarding the proposed legislation as a whole
Officials from Attorney General’s Office, Department of Mental Health, Office of the State 
Treasurer, Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development and the 
University of Missouri System each assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their 
respective organizations. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, 
Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for these agencies.  
In response to a similar proposal, HCS HB 1753 (2022), officials from the Office of 
Administration - Administrative Hearing Commission, each assume the proposal will have no 
fiscal impact on their respective organizations. Oversight does not have any information to the 
contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for this agency.  
In response to a similar proposal, HCS HB 1753 (2022), officials from the Joint Committee on 
Public Employee Retirement (JCPER) state the JCPER has reviewed this proposal. The 
proposal has no fiscal impact to the Joint Committee on Public Employee Retirement. The 
JCPER’s review of the proposal indicates that its provisions may constitute a “substantial 
proposed change” in future plan benefits as defined in section 105.660(10).  It is impossible to 
accurately determine the fiscal impact of this legislation without an actuarial cost statement 
prepared in accordance with section 105.665.  Pursuant to section 105.670, an actuarial cost 
statement must be filed with the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives, the Secretary of 
the Senate, and the Joint Committee on Public Employee Retirement as public information for at 
least five legislative days prior to final passage.
In response to a similar proposal, HCS HB 1753 (2022), officials from the Kansas City Election

In response to a similar proposal, Perfected HCS HB 1750 (2022), officials from the University 
of Central Missouri state there is an indeterminate fiscal impact due to uncertainty of 
application.
Oversight received a limited number of responses from school districts related to the fiscal 
impact of this proposal. Oversight has presented this fiscal note on the best current information 
available. Upon the receipt of additional responses, Oversight will review to determine if an 
updated fiscal note should be prepared and seek the necessary approval to publish a new fiscal 
note.
Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions; 
however, school districts were requested to respond to this proposed legislation but did not. A 
listing of political subdivisions included in the Missouri Legislative Information System 
(MOLIS) database is available upon request.
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 
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. L.R. No. 4133H.10C
