Fiscal effect: Counting kindergarten students as 1.0 FTEincreases statewide ADM by about 66,000. There may beadministrative savings for districts with significant numbersof resident students attending community schools achievedby funding students where they are educated, as opposedto where they reside, because less resources may beneeded for tracking students. Using ADM from the prioryear allows a greater level of planning by districts as theybetter know in advance the amount of state funding they arelikely to receive.Fiscal effect: Same as the Executive.
