FISCAL NOTE, 85TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
March 18, 2017

TO:
Honorable Dan Huberty, Chair, House Committee on Public Education
 
FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB1500 by Giddings (Relating to indicators of achievement under the public school accountability system.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill's provisions would expand the components of Domain 4 of the Texas public school accountability system to include the percentage of students who earn an associate degree.

The bill would take effect September 1, 2017, or immediately if passed with the necessary voting margins, and would apply beginning with school year 2017-18.

Local Government Impact

Districts would need to create an administrative process to work with local colleges to collect and report data on students who earn an associate degree. The costs associated with this requirement would vary by district.
