FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education indicated this proposal would have no fiscal impact on their agency or on school districts.



Officials from the Mexico Public Schools and the Columbia Public Schools indicate there would be little or no significant fiscal impact to their districts.



Officials from the Kansas City Missouri School District stated their district has received a grant which will cover the cost of development an emergency preparedness plan and it is anticipated there will be no additional costs for planning to the operating budget. Any annual cost of maintaining and implementing the plan would come from the operating budget.



Officials from the Saint Louis Public Schools assume there could be numerous costs to their district should these services need to be provided to support community emergency situations; however, an estimate was not made.



Oversight assumes the language in the proposal is permissive, therefore no fiscal impact is assigned.

DESCRIPTION



This proposal gives authority to school districts to adopt emergency preparedness plans for use of school resources during natural disasters or other community emergencies. Resources may include food assistance through use of federal commodity foods and use of school buildings and buses. Use of resources under an emergency plan is subject to review by the local board of education within 30 days of authorization or as soon as reasonably possible.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
