FISCAL IMPACT:
The
bill requires the Department of Education to withhold grant funds from a public school or district until such time as the input-based school accountability system report is submitted to the Department.
While the Department cannot predict future compliance with this report requirement, it states that in the most recent year there were no instances of non-compliance and therefore this bill would have had no impact. Therefore, it is assumed compliance will continue and this bill will have no fiscal impact in FY 2026 or beyond.
