FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 21, 2013

TO:	Honorable Jimmie Don Aycock, Chair, House Committee on Public Education
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB2872 by Villarreal (Relating to the number of student absences that constitute a failure to attend school.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the number of student absences that constitute a failure to attend school.

The bill is not expected to have a significant fiscal impact. The Student Attendance Accounting Handbook would need to be updated to incorporate the new requirements.

Local Government Impact

There may be some costs to local school districts to modify locally-developed or vendor student information systems (SISs) to incorporate the changes in absences. These costs would vary from school district to school district depending on the SIS being used and the amount of modification required.
