Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):


The purpose of this bill is to require county boards to employ a full-time athletic director for every high school that has 13 or more varsity sports and at least a half-time athletic director for every high school with 12 or less varsity sports. Since every county board is being funded at the maximum number of professional personnel allowed under the Public School Support Program for the 2009-10 year, and the funding limits are not being increased, the cost of employing the required number of athletic directors would be a cost that would have to be borne by the various county boards. The estimated cost per year is $5,972,274 for salary and employee benefits.
