SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
House Bill 143 appropriates $150.0 to SDE to study the feasibility of establishing an area vocational school for the Silver and Cobre Consolidated School Districts.
Significant Issues
SDE indicates that Section 22-5-4.8 allows a local school board, alone or in cooperation with other boards, to develop a plan for the establishment of an area vocational high school on the campus of a post-secondary education institution. Statute also allows operational expenses for the school to be financed by a special tax levy not to exceed one dollar for each one thousand dollars of net taxable value.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
This bill appropriates $150.0 to SDE from the general fund for expenditure in fiscal year 2001. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2001 shall revert to the general fund.
ADMINISTRATIVE IMPLICATIONS
SDE will perform the study or contract with a private provider to complete the study.
