FISCAL NOTE, 80TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 6, 2007

TO:
Honorable Florence Shapiro, Chair, Senate Committee on 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.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

This bill would require the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to include instructional method used for limited English proficiency students in the Academic Excellence Indicator System annual report of student’s academic progress.  TEA estimates that this change to the Public Education Information Management System data collection system could be absorbed with current resources.

Local Government Impact

School districts likely would experience some cost to update either locally developed data collection software or vendor software, but this cost is not expected to be significant.
