FISCAL NOTE, 80TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

May 9, 2007

TO:	Honorable Rob Eissler, Chair, House Committee on Public Education
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB1871 by Zaffirini (relating to the compilation and reporting by the Texas Education Agency of certain student data disaggregated by the instruction method used.), Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require changes to the Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) data collection system, but the Texas Education Agency estimates that this cost could be absorbed with current resources.

Local Government Impact

It is estimated that school district costs to update either locally developed data collection software or vendor software would not be significant.
