The analysis shall include a detailed study of the educational implications of the closing, the impact on the students, and the opinions and research of nationally recognized experts in the field of the education of deaf or hard-of-hearing students. The comprehensive plan shall further include a study relating to the programming, fiscal consequences, and political implications which would result ifan agreement under chapter 28E should be implemented between the Iowa school for the deaf in Council Bluffs and comparable state programs in the state of Nebraska. 2. The general assembly has studied the plans, programs, and fiscal analysis and has reviewed their impact on the programs. 3.
