| TO: | Honorable Jimmie Don Aycock, Chair, House Committee on Public Education |
| FROM: | Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
| IN RE: | HB3611 by Elkins (Relating to home-rule school district charters and to the applicability of certain laws and procedures to those districts.), As Introduced |
The bill would alter certain regulations for home-rule school districts relating to teacher hiring and salaries, class size limits, instructional practice, disciplinary management, and transfers.
The bill would allow a home-rule school district charter to be created or rescinded by a resolution of a majority of the board of trustees or by a vote of a majority of the qualified voters voting in such an election.
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. Administrative costs related to adopting and implementing a home-rule school district charter would be voluntary on the part of the board of trustees and/or the local electorate.
Based on the analysis of the Texas Education Agency, the removal of inter-district or inter-county transfers could affect students currently in attendance under one of these agreements, which could impact students who had been bullied or victimized.
