Responses Received From
State Department of Education (SDE)
SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
Senate Bill 137
appropriates $1,000.0 from the general fund to the Public School Reading Proficiency
Fund for expenditure in fiscal year 2004 for awards to schools that implement
innovate programs.
The bill was
introduced for the LESC.
Significant Issues
This bill supports the
State Board of Education’s (SBE) FY 2004 legislative request and is consistent
with the SBE’s goals for education.
According to the SDE analysis, the bill builds on the successful Reading
Initiatives Improvement Program that was implemented with a $1,000.0 appropriation
from the 2001 session.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of
$1,000.0 contained in this bill is a recurring expense to the general fund. Any
unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2004
shall revert to the general fund.
SB 137 relates to SB 219, a bill that funds public school professional
development for public school personnel..
