"I. Out of this appropriation, $135,000 the first year and $135,000 the second year from the general fund and one full-time position to coordinate and manage the requirements of House Bill 121, pursuant to its passage, which requires the Department to establish an inter-agency taskforce composed of state and local agencies and entities in the areas of early childhood development, health, social services, community engagement, family engagement, higher education, and workforce development for the purpose of developing a program for the establishment of community schools whereby public elementary and secondary schools serve as centers for the provision of such community programs and services to students and their families as may be necessary on the basis of the unique needs of the student population to be served."



Explanation

(This amendment provides $135,000 each year from the general fund and one full-time position for the fiscal impact of House Bill 118 which requires the Department of Education (DOE) to establish an inter-agency taskforce for the purpose of developing a program for the establishment of community schools whereby public elementary and secondary schools serve as centers for the provision of such community programs and services to students and their families as may be necessary on the basis of the unique needs of the student population to be served. The taskforce will include staff from state and local agencies and entities in the areas of early childhood development, health, social services, community engagement, family engagement, higher education, and workforce development. The proposed bill requires such program to include a process by which school boards and community partnerships may apply to DOE to designate an elementary or secondary school in the local school division as a community school. The bill also establishes a special nonreverting fund in the state treasury for the purpose of providing planning grants for school boards and community partnerships that seek to apply to DOE through such program for community school designation.)
