Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
The Division estimates a cost of approximately 100 hours at $30/hour for an
administrator to create and implement the formula. Furthermore, additional costs such
as publications are a variable cost dependent upon the length of the ads and the
amount of ads placed but is estimated at approximately $300 per ad. At minimum, the
Division would likely advertise in each district’s headquarters.
