Fiscal Detail and Notes
	The Department of Education has estimated that, based on the 2005 State Valuation, this legislation may increase the amount of General Purpose Aid for Local Schools subsidy that Old Town receives by between $532,000 and $1,064,000 in fiscal year 2006-07.  Since this legislation requires the Department of Education to fund the increase through savings that may occur in the General Purpose Aid for Local Schools program in fiscal year 2006-07 or as an audit adjustment in the program in fiscal year 2007-08, no additional General Fund appropriation is required.  However, if an audit adjustment is required in fiscal year 2007-08 for the FY 2006-07 subsidy, it will reduce the amount of subsidy available for distribution to all other local school units in the State.  The impact to each individual school unit can not be determined at this time.
