The Maine
Educational Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing/Governor Baxter School
for the Deaf (MECDHH/GBSD) estimates that the requirements in this
legislation will increase costs to the school by approximately $360,000 per
year beginning in fiscal year 2015-16.
State funding for the MECDHH/GBSD is included in the annual General
Fund appropriation for the General Purpose Aid for Local Schools program
within the Department of Education as part of the miscellaneous costs and
adjustments. The department has
indicated that it will include funding for the additional costs associated
with this legislation in its budget beginning in fiscal year 2015-16. Unless additional General Fund support is
provided to the miscellaneous costs and adjustments category beginning in
fiscal year 2015-16, other line items within that category may need to be
reduced in order to support the increased funding to the MECDHH/GBSD. |
