Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
The purpose of this bill is to enhance school access safety and to authorize the School Building Authority to facilitate and fund enhancements to means of ingress and egress of pupils, school employees, visitors and emergency personnel to and from public school facilities.
The bill does not specify a certain amount of funding, therefore the cost to the State would be the amount appropriated by the Legislature for this purpose, plus the cost of employing one additional professional personnel by the Department of Education to conduct the inspections specified in the bill. In addition, the county boards are required to obligate an additional 25% in local matching funds to be eligible for the funding.
Since $10 million was included in the Governor's recommended budget for the 2007-08 year, the estimated cost to the State for the upcoming year is the $10,000,000 plus the salary and benefit costs of $78,600 to employ an additional inspector for a total State cost of $10,078,600. In addition, the cost to the county boards would be an additional $2,500,000. for a total estimated cost of $12,578,600.
Attached is a schedule that shows the allocation to each county board.
