Fiscal Detail and Notes
This concept draft proposes that funding for charter programs be determined in the same manner as funding for other educational programs in the school administrative unit.  Creating a charter school program within a local school administrative unit will increase the total state and local cost of K-12 public education.  Additional General Fund appropriations will be required to fund the additional state share.  The amount can not be determined at this time and will depend on the number of charter school programs created.
