The Texas Education Agency (TEA) reports that in 2006, 88,000 students in grades 6 though 12 were referred to DAEPs and 482,000 students were placed in in-school suspension. The cost of a twelve-month case management program, which would include referrals violence and drug prevention programs and counseling as appropriate, is estimated at $400 per student on average.
Assuming the rate at which students are placed in DAEPs is similar from year to year and assuming that grants made under the provisions of the bill would provide 12-month case management services to 20 percent of the population of students placed in DAEPs each year, the annual cost of grant awards is estimated at $7 million. To the extent that more students were served by the grant program, costs would increase.
TEA assumes that the program would be administered by one or more Regional Education Service Centers as authorized by the bill and estimates no additional administrative cost associated with implementation.
