SUMMARY
Synopsis
of Bill
Senate Bill 185
appropriates $20.0 from the general fund to the SDE for expenditure in fiscal
year 2004 to provide for out-of-district speakers for the extra support for a principals
mentor
program of the
Albuquerque Public Schools (APS).
Significant
Issues
Continued professional development activities
are common practices in business, industry, and education. These training activities provide for
improvement at the management level. It
is expected improved management skills for school administrators will lead to
improving the opportunities for academic success for public school students in
APS.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of
$20.0 contained in this bill is a recurring expense to the general fund. Any
unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year shall revert
to the general fund.
