Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
Requirements in the proposed bill state "funding shall cover the full-time salary and benefits of the Great Expectations Coach and resources to fund recruitment, onboarding, and supportive activities and services."
Memorandum
The bill could lead to additional costs above the proposed funding of $95,000 depending on the financial aid for which students could qualify. It is difficult to estimate the additional fiscal impact of the legislation without clarification that defines the use of tuition programs and waivers, such as compliance with WV Invests-eligible programs, workforce programs, and tuition waivers for high school graduates in foster care.
