Fiscal Note
Redistribution of state subsidy - local school administrative units
Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Allowing for one additional charter school per year to be approved during the remainder of the 10-year transition period, once the current limit of 10 public charter schools is met, will result in a redistribution of state subsidy away from local school administrative units and to the new public charter school.  The impact on individual school administrative units will depend on the number of new public charter schools established and the number of students that choose to leave their current school to attend the new public charter school.
