This bill will
become effective only if approved by the voters of Cary Plantation at the
next general election to be held in November.
If approved, the deorganization of Cary Plantation would take effect
on July 1, 2019. |
|
For purposes of
this analysis, all other factors in the calculation of the total cost of K-12
public education and the state's contribution are assumed to be held
constant. Given this assumption, the
deorganization of Cary Plantation will lower the total cost of K-12 public
education beginning in fiscal year 2019-20 and result in savings to the
General Purpose Aid for Local Schools program within the Department of
Education. The amount of savings can
not be determined at this time. For
comparison purposes, the total cost allocation for Cary Plantation for the
2017-2018 school year is $206,644 with the state contributing $111,832 of
that total. |
|
The Division of
State Schools - Education in the Unorganized Territories program in the
Department of Education will incur future General Fund expenditures to
provide services to the Unorganized Territories. These expenditures would be ongoing and
would be to provide schooling to students from Cary Plantation. The cost can not be determined at this
time, but is estimated to be approximately $316,065 annually. The General Fund would be fully reimbursed
for these costs by higher collections made through the Municipal Cost
Component program. |
|
Any additional
costs incurred by Maine Revenue Services related to the deorganization of
Cary Plantation can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources. The minor additional costs associated with
the filing of certain election results can be absorbed by the Secretary of
State utilizing existing budgeted resources. |
