FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the
Fort Zumwalt School District stated the proposal would have no direct fiscal
impact.
Oversight assumes that costs or savings would not occur until and unless the
General Assembly passed a law changing school district boundaries.
Advertisement costs for the proposal would be $3,990 per newspaper column
inch for three publications of the text of the proposal, the introduction,
title, fiscal note summary, and affidavit. The proposal would be on the
ballot for the November 1998 general election.
