         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on HB836 ( Relating 
to optional extended year programs conducted by certain public 
school districts.) this office has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by HB836-Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted
         
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         

         
 
          
The added requirement that students must satisfy the requirements 
for promotion prescribed by Section 28.021 would have the effect 
of clarifying that student performance and attendance are equally 
important criteria in the promotion of Optional Extended Year 
Program participants.  Districts that promote fewer students 
in reaction to this bill would increase education costs associated 
with teaching these students, but these costs are not expected 
to be significant.

No fiscal implication to units of local 
governments is anticipated.
