SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
Senate Bill 109 will provide $100.0 to the Public Education Department (PED) to support a two-
year pilot program at the Nuestros Valores charter school to test students to measure workplace
skills and to facilitate the placement of students into private sector employment.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) contained in this bill is a recurring
expense to the General Fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of
Fiscal Year 2009 shall revert to the General Fund.
These funds will flow through PED to the charter school. The fiscal flow-through and program
monitoring costs can be absorbed by existing staff.
It is anticipated that administrative staff for this work will be absorbed within the existing resources
