IN RE: | HB2542 by Eissler (Relating to excused absences in public schools for students visiting institutions of higher education.), As Engrossed |
To the extent that some unexcused absences may currently occur as a result of high school juniors or seniors visiting institutions of higher education, the Texas Education Agency anticipates that there could be a slight increase in state funding under the Foundation School Program for the two days of excused absence that would be allowed for each grade level under the bill. However, the slight change in student attendance and associated state aid are not anticipated to be significant on a statewide basis.
