       IN RE:  HB1387  by Dukes (Relating to the application of the

**************************************************************************
  
The bill requires magnet programs, academies, or other special programs
conducted at a high school attended by other high school students, who
are not members of the special program shall be considered as a distinct
graduating class separate from the graduating class of the students
attending regular programs.   The bill might change the enrollment
patterns of selected institutions.  However, it should not change the
total number of students enrolled in Texas public institutions of higher
education.  Therefore, no impact on the General Revenue Fund is
anticipated.
  
Local Government Impact
  
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
