The bill would amend Section 42.154, Education Code to expand Foundation School Program weighted funding for career and technology education courses, currently earned by students in grades 9-12, to include students in grade 8 beginning with the 2013-14 school year.
This estimate assumes that career and technology education (CTE) participation by 8th grade students would be similar to participation by 9th grade students, with about 20 percent enrolled in at least one CTE course at full implementation. The estimate assumes that participation by 8th grade students would phase-in over several years as schools expand course offerings and adjust scheduling options to accommodate increased grade 8 CTE enrollment. Participation in fiscal year 2014 is assumed at 10 percent, increasing incrementally each year until reaching 20 percent in fiscal year 2018. Under these assumptions, the estimated state cost to the Foundation School Program would be $15.9 million in fiscal year 2014 and $20.2 million in fiscal year 2015, increasing incrementally to $30.7 million by fiscal year 2018 when full implementation is attained.
