SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

Senate Bill 587 appropriates $95.3 thousand from the general fund to the Public Education

Department for band uniforms for the Alamogordo public schools in Otero county.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

The appropriation of $95.3 thousand contained in this bill is a recurring expense to the general

fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2008 shall

revert to the general fund.

The LFC remains concerned with funding initiatives outside of the funding formula as it tends to

disequalize school funding and diverts funding away from core educational needs.

SIGNIFICANT ISSUES

Appropriations contained in the General Appropriations Act for the State Equalization Guarantee

contains funding for operational costs for schools including equipment.
