Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB168 by Uresti (Relating to temporary waiver of superintendent certification for employment of public school district superintendents.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
This bill would amend the Education Code as it relates to temporary waiver of superintendent certification for employment of public school district superintendents. The bill would allow the Commissioner of Education to waive the superintendent certification requirement for employment by a district. The Commissioner could limit the waiver in the manner the commissioner deemed appropriate. A person would either have to be certified as a superintendent or be granted a waiver by the commissioner prior to employment or designation as temporary or interim superintendent.
Based on the analysis of the Texas Education Agency, duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
