Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB2062 by Watson (Relating to authorizing certain charter holders to provide combined services for certain adult and high school dropout recovery programs.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would authorize certain charter holders to provide combined services for certain adult and high school dropout recovery programs.
Local Government Impact
The Excel Center and the Excel Center for Adults charter schools, operated by Goodwill Industries of Central Texas, could have students from ages 17 to 50 share classrooms, cafeterias, and activities as an exception to Section 25.001(b02), Education Code, which prohibits placement of students younger than 19 years of age with older students who have not attended school for the preceding three years.
The charter school would experience some administrative costs savings by not being required to separate older students from younger students.
