EXPENDITURE EXPLANATION
There is no anticipated direct material effect on governmental expenditures as a result of this measure. The proposed
changes renaming the chapter to “Louisiana Public Charter School Law”, updating the intent and purpose of public charter
schools, and adding the definition of autonomy are technical in nature, and not expected to result in an increase in state or
local governmental expenditures. The Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) reports the requirement that notices of
local charter application submissions be provided to LDOE is also not anticipated to result in an increase in expenditures for
state or local governments.
