Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact



                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                           RS12525C1 
This legislation will eliminate the early retirement incentive as
provided in Chapter 33-1004G of the Idaho Code that is paid to
certificated employees of an Idaho public school district.
The intent of the legislation when passed in 1996 was to give
teachers who were "no longer performing at their peak level" and
did not want to become technologically prepared, an avenue to
leave the teaching profession early.  The premise was that we
could save enough when certified employees at the top end of the
salary apportionment schedule departed and new employees at the
bottom end of the schedule were hired, to pay for the costs
incurred by Chapter 33-1004G of the Idaho Code.
However, as time has elapsed, the law has not worked as
originally visualized and needs to be repealed.
                          FISCAL IMPACT
The exact fiscal impact is impossible to ascertain.  It is
estimated a net savings of between $2,000,000 and $4,000,000.
