Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
This proposed legislation establishes a Mobile Career and Technical Education (CTE) Classroom Program by authorizing the modification of large mobile vehicles, such as buses, to be repurposed and equipped for use as mobile instructional classrooms delivering CTE programming.
In its current form, this proposal will increase state expenditures and is not expected to generate new state revenues. Costs to the state will include the addition of new personnel within the West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE), currently estimated at five positions to operate the mobile CTE units and one director position to oversee, facilitate, and coordinate program implementation and operations.
Additional costs will be incurred for the purchase of large vehicles, materials, and contracted labor necessary to modify and equip the vehicles for use as mobile CTE classrooms. Ongoing operating expenses will also be required for routine maintenance of the vehicles, replenishment of instructional supplies, and general upkeep to ensure continued functionality of the mobile units.
