John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB2108 by Keffer, Jim (Relating to the technology applications credit requirement for graduation from public high school.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would allow a student to satisfy a graduation requirement of one credit in technology applications by earning three credits in two or more state-approved career and technology education courses. Because this option would likely only to students already committed to a particular career and technology course sequence, no significant impact to the Foundation School Program or the Texas Education Agency's operations is expected.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. No increase in state aid due to higher enrollment in career and technology courses is anticipated because there are currently nine career and technology courses approved for technology applications credit.
