FISCAL ANALYSIS


ASSUMPTION 


Officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) state there is no fiscal impact to their agency. DESE is unaware to what extent dues to teacher associations may currently be paid through payroll deduction; however, DESE assumes the limits imposed by this proposal will not result in significant costs to local school districts.


Officials from the Independence School District state this proposal would have a fiscal impact on their district.


Officials from the Francis Howell School District estimate the additional time managing the payroll deductions could cost their district an additional $2,500 per year.


Oversight assumes administrative costs associated with this proposal could be absorbed within school district resources.


This proposal was sent to several other school districts who did not respond to a request for fiscal note.
