Sections 1 and 6: Currently, TEA contracts with SCECD using a vendor to collect raw scores as part of a pilot project. TEA estimates the cost to collect these data is $1 per child or approximately $350,000 for participating 3, 4, and 5 year old children. TEA estimates the need for an additional contract with regional education service center (RESC) IV to resolve data matching errors and conduct data quality activites, at a cost of $200,000 annually.
Section 7: It is assumed for the purposes of this fiscal note that Section 4 of the bill simply would codify existing TWC rules regarding enhanced reimbursement rates, and therefore would not result in an increased state cost.
Section 8: To develop an interactive internet based training module to encompass current law pre-service training requirements, DFPS anticipates that the one-time technology development costs and 2 FTEs to provide user support and content oversight on an ongoing basis would total $194,209 for FY2008 and $114,937 each year thereafter. The agency anticipates that some portion of these amounts could be offset through the use of available federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds.
Section 13: TEA recently conducted an evaluation of SCECD activities for an estimated cost of $450,000. The agency assumes that these evaluations would cost an estimated $450,000 every other year on even numbered years.
