  | 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. |
