The required
local activities in this bill may represent a state mandate pursuant to the
Constitution of Maine. If the bill does require a local unit of government to
expand or modify its activities so as to necessitate additional expenditures
from local revenue, the state mandate provisions of the Constitution of Maine
require either: (1) General Fund appropriations be provided to fund at least
90% of any additional necessitated local costs of the mandate; or (2) a
Mandate Preamble be added to the bill and two-thirds of the members of each
House vote to exempt the mandate from the funding requirement. If the bill
does represent a state mandate and neither one of these actions occurs, the
local units of government will not be required to implement the mandated
activities. |

Expanding the
requirements of the performance evaluation and professional growth system
enacted pursuant to Public Law 2011, c. 635 to include a new mentoring
program for principals and assistant principals will increase costs to school
administrative units. It is not
possible to estimate the additional costs at this time. However, given that LD 390, the Governor's
proposed budget for the 2018-2019 biennium, eliminates all funding to support
the implementation of the current performance evaluation and professional
growth system, it is unclear how school administrative units will implement
the requirements of this bill. |
