| Fiscal Note (State Board of Education) | |
| Class size reduction is extremely difficult to analyze because every district is different for every grade and you must assume many local decisions. Assuming the average cost of a new 3rd grade teacher at approximately $32,000, SB 902 would cost approximately $25 million for the 3rd grade alone. Assuming grades K-2 are similar, the annual costs of SB 902 would be approximately $100 million for teachers only. It does not include the cost for new facilities, supplies, and equipment. |
| State Debt Impact Note (Economic and Fiscal Commission) | |
| This legislation would not change the amount of authorization for any type of State-issued or State-supported bond, and, therefore, would not affect the level of State indebtedness. |
