METHODOLOGY:
This bill provides for prescribed studies in health, physical education, wellness, and financial literacy, and requires the Department of Education to conduct a biennial compliance survey of school districts. The Department states school districts may need to purchase curriculum/materials or hire additional staff if they do not currently meet the requirements of this bill. Also, the Department states it may incur costs relative to performing the required survey, however, does not have an estimate of potential costs at this time. Ultimately, this bill may increase state and local school district expenditures by an indeterminable amount in FY 2023 and each year thereafter.
