under certain conditions will not affect the total cost ofK-12 public education or the state's share of that cost. 
However, changes in State Valuation will result in a redistribution of state subsidy with some school administrative 
districts receiving more funds and some school administrative units receiving less. Th~ impact to individual school 
administrative units can not be determined at this time.
