The General
Purpose Aid for Local Schools program within the Department of Education will
require ongoing General Fund appropriations of $3,759,500 per year beginning
in fiscal year 2021-22 for the cost associated with increasing the number of
students that may be enrolled at virtual public charter schools authorized by
the Maine Charter School Commission from 1,000 at all virtual public charter
schools to 1,500 at each virtual public charter school and expanding the
grade levels that a virtual public charter school may serve to include grade
levels 5 and 6. This estimate assumes
a total of 500 students that are currently not attending a publicly funded
school choose to attend a virtual public charter school at a cost of $7,519
per student. The total cost may be
higher or lower depending on actual experience. |
