Fiscal Detail and Notes
The additional costs to the Department of Education associated with providing an alternative measure of student achievement for grade 11 as part of the statewide assessment program, validating comprehensive education plans and local assessment plans for every school administrative unit and providing the required technical assistance to school units can not be determined at this time.  Although the Department intends to absorb the costs within existing resources, it is not clear whether these measures can be implemented without impacting existing programs and services.
