Enactment of this legislation could cost the Utah State Board of Education $6,563,200 ongoing and $19,000,000 one-time from the Income Tax Fund beginning in Fiscal Year 2027 to procure, operate, and support a statewide student information system. Implementation costs would be phased in over time in accordance with the bill’s rollout schedule, culminating in full statewide implementation by July 1, 2031. As a result, ongoing costs would be delayed until partial implementation begins in Fiscal Year 2028. The $10,000,000 appropriated for the student information system during the 2025 General Session would be applied toward one-time costs upon passage of this legislation.
