IN RE:
SB135 by Patrick (Relating to the use of a public school student's performance on an end-of-course assessment instrument in determining the student's final grade for the course.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would eliminate the requirement that an end-of-course assessment developed under Section 28.014 of the Education Code shall account for 15 percent of the student's final grade for the course, and instead allow each school district to determine whether the assessment shall account for not more than 15 percent of the student's final grade for the course.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to local school districts or charter schools is anticipated.
