TO: | Honorable Jimmie Don Aycock, Chair, House Committee On Public Education |
FROM: | Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB455 by Dukes (Relating to excused absences from public school for certain students.), As Introduced |
The bill would expand excused absences to include a temporary absence resulting from a student taking his or her child to an appointment with a health care professional. For the absence to be excused, the student would have to attend school for at least part of the day. The bill would apply beginning with the 2013–2014 school year.
According to an analysis by the Texas Education Agency (TEA), the bill has no significant fiscal implications for the Foundation School Program (FSP) or the operations of TEA.
