Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact

                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                             RS 15586

     To remove from Idaho Code a reference to offering
Kindergarten.



                           FISCAL NOTE

     No impact on the General Fund would occur because, according
to the Department of Education, all districts in Idaho currently
offer Kindergarten and these student counts are included in the
Average Daily Attendance figures reported by the districts in
order to be counted in the state's funding formulas.
