The Honorable Kristey Williams, Chairperson
House Committee on K-12 Education Budget
Statehouse, Room 286-N
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Williams:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2108 by House Committee on K-12 Education Budget
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2108 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
Under current law, the State Board of Education is required to identify and approve evidence-
based best practices for at-risk programs and instruction of students receiving at-risk programs. HB
2108 would require on or after July 1, 2019, that the best practices include, but not be limited to,
programs and services provided by state-based national nonprofit organizations that:
1. Focus on students who are identified as at-risk or who face other identifiable barriers to
success;
2. Provide peer-reviewed, evidence-based instruction and support services to students inside and
outside the school setting; and
3. Show proven and consistent effectiveness through outcomes data, including school
attendance, academic progress, graduation rates, pursuit of postsecondary education, or career
advancement.
In addition, the bill would add “Jobs for America’s Graduates” to examples of programs that
could receive appropriations for the improvement of public education.
Although the bill provides that “Jobs for America’s Graduates” would be an eligible program
to receive state appropriations for improvement of public education, the enactment of HB 2108 would
have no fiscal effect, as the bill does not appropriate additional funds for at-risk programs.

Sincerely,

Larry L. Campbell
Director of the Budget
