STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS30559 / H0280
This legislation establishes that members of the State Board of Education be elected and outlines the procedure
and qualifications for election. It also makes the elected Superintendent of Public Instruction the Chair of the
State Board of Education as the only statewide elected member of the board. It also provides that petitions may
be filed lieu of a filing fee.
FISCAL NOTE
This legislation provides an annual stipend of $12,000 per board member resulting in a fiscal impact to the
General Fund of $84,000. The extra expenses for clerks to manage elections should be minimal. Some impact
should be offset by receiving filing fees for candidates.
