Fiscal Analysis
The bill would add new Subchapter N, Chapter 21, Education Code to establish an awards for student achievement program under which the commissioner would provide grants to eligible campuses not to exceed an annual total of $100 million statewide beginning in fiscal year 2007.
Methodology
Section 4.06 of the bill would add new Subchapter N, Chapter 21, Texas Education Code to establish an awards for student achievement program under which the commissioner of education would provide grants to eligible campuses. Eligibility would be determined based on the percentage of educationally disadvantaged students enrolled at the campus and the campus accountability rating. The bill would require participating campuses to have an approved campus incentive plan that describes the use of grant funding and meets minimum criteria described in the bill. The commissioner would determine grant award amounts, not to exceed $100 million in general revenue per year beginning in fiscal year 2007. The estimated TEA administrative cost associated with the program is $184,000 in each year to fund 3 full-time-equivalent employees.
Local Government Impact
The bill would create the Awards for Student Achievement program for which state funds would be allocated to eligible districts.
