IN RE:

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would direct the Texas Education Agency to submit a report to the legislature by January 1, 2011, concerning the number and status of applications for class size waivers by school district. The Agency estimates the requirement could be met using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
School districts could realize some savings of operating expenses under the provisions of the bill. The amount of savings would vary based upon local circumstances.
