Fiscal Detail and Notes
Allowing for one additional public charter school once the cap of 10 public charter schools is reached will increase the total cost of public education from kindergarten to grade 12.  The amount and timing of that increase will depend on when the current cap of 10 is reached, when the additional public charter school is approved and the number of students that choose to attend the new charter school.
