TO: | Honorable Florence Shapiro, Chair, Senate Committee on Education |
FROM: | John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | SB1373 by Shapiro (Relating to accreditation of public school districts.), As Introduced |
The bill would require some minor revisions to the Texas Education Agency's (TEA) Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) in order to identify students to be excluded from districts' accreditation status and accountability ratings and to report these students separately. These revisions are not expected to be significant, although TEA notes that needed data and reporting system changes at the agency and at the district level may not be completed in time for use in the 2003-04 school year.
