Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB2804 by Aycock (relating to evaluation of public school performance.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would require the Commissioner of Education to adopt a set of performance indicators of the quality of learning and achievement. The bill would amend the accountability indicators in Education Code §39.053 and would require the Commissioner to assign a separate rating for the five domains. Beginning September 1, 2016, the bill would require the Commissioner to assign performance ratings of A, B, C, D, or F to districts, campuses, and each domain.
The agency estimates there would be costs associated with implementing the provisions of the bill; however, this estimate assumes these costs could be absorbed within existing resources.
Local Government Impact
The bill would require districts to submit relevant data to TEA in order to assess the campuses and district in community and student engagement. Districts could incur costs associated with implementing the provisions of the bill. These costs would vary by school district.
