Honorable Larry Taylor, Chair, Senate Committee on Education
FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB1711 by Campbell (Relating to rules which insure that local independent school district selection of non-state adopted instructional materials to be purchased with state funds, is as accountable and transparent as the State Board of Education approval process for state-adopted instruction materials.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would allow the State Board of Education (SBOE) to adopt rules to establish minimum standard for local procedures to adopt non-state adopted instructional materials purchased using state funds. The Texas Education Agency anticipates any additional work resulting from the passage of the bill could be reasonably absorbed within current resources.
Local Government Impact
School districts may incur administrative costs to comply with SBOE rules if the SBOE elected to adopt rules and districts elected to adopt non-state adopted instructional materials.
