Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
We are unable to determine the State cost under the proposed legislation since we are unable to predict how many students will request a supplemental school year. Allowing students to voluntarily stay in school for a supplemental school year would increase the cost to the State under the Public School Support Plan (PSSP) since those students would be included in net enrollment for state aid funding purposes. Allowing the students an additional year of athletic eligibility would have no cost to the State under the PSSP since state aid funding is not provided for athletics. To the extent that allowing the additional year of eligibility would have a minimal cost impact, that cost impact, if any, would be borne directly by the county boards of education.

Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
We are unable to determine the State cost under the proposed legislation since we are unable to predict how many students will request a supplemental school year. Allowing students to voluntarily stay in school for a supplemental school year would increase the cost to the State under the Public School Support Plan (PSSP) since those students would be included in net enrollment for state aid funding purposes for the FY23 state aid calculations. For each student who is permitted a supplemental school year, the estimated cost to the State would be an estimated $4,624.29 per pupil based on the FY21 average net state aid per pupil. The actual cost per pupil for FY23 would vary by county based on the detailed PSSP calculations for that year. In addition, if students taking a supplemental school year would cause any county boards of education to have an increase in enrollment for FY22 as compared to FY21, the county boards of education with an increase would receive Increased Enrollment funding for FY22 at the estimated rate of $4,624.29 per pupil enrolled above the county's FY21 enrollment counts.
Allowing the students an additional year of athletic eligibility would have no cost to the State under the PSSP since state aid funding is not provided for athletics. To the extent that allowing the additional year of eligibility would have a cost impact, that cost impact, if any, would be borne directly by the county boards of education.
Memorandum
Although the listed purpose of the proposed legislation states that the supplemental year is to allow students impacted by COVID-19 to complete high school, the proposed statutory language itself does not limit the supplemental year to only high school students and would therefore be allowed for students in any grade.
