TO:	Honorable Jimmie Don Aycock, Chair, House Committee on Public Education
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB2104 by Dutton (Relating to charter schools and accurately accounting for workforce development statistics.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would authorize an open-enrollment charter school to be assessed as a Drop Out Prevention and Recovery Charter High School if 50 percent or more of its students are 17 years of age or older and 75 percent or more of its students are considered to be at risk of dropping out of school.

Based on information provided by the Texas Education Agency, this analysis assumes that any costs related to the implementation of this bill would not be significant.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
