| IN RE: | HB918 by Walle (Relating to requiring a school district to report data regarding citations issued to and arrests made of students.), As Introduced |
The bill would require school districts to report annually to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) the incidence of citations issued to students and arrests of students.
To implement the bill, the agency would have to add new data elements to the Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS). The agency would also be required to develop reports based on these data and make them available to the public.
Based on the analysis of TEA, the duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
There may be costs to local school districts associated with updating the student information system to collect citation and arrest information and report it to TEA.
