IN RE:
HB4921 by Murr (Relating to the establishment of an adult education pilot program by the Windham School District.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would require the Windham School District (WSD) to establish a pilot program with a nonprofit entity to provide adult education opportunities to eligible inmates. The bill stipulates that this program be available at at least three schools operated by WSD.
This analysis assumes funding would flow to these nonprofit entities through the Foundation School Program at the Texas Education Agency (TEA). Based on estimates provided by the Texas Deparment of Criminal Justice and TEA, it is assumed any costs associated with the bill could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
