IN RE:
HB2093 by Miller (Relating to a study and report by the commissioner of education concerning consideration of the performance of gifted and talented students under the public school accountability system.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would require the Commissioner to complete a study and determine the most appropriate method for including the performance of gifted and talented (G/T) students served in program established under Subchapter D, Chapter 29, Education Code in the accountability system. The bill would require the Commissioner to submit a report by December 1, 2018 to certain legislative offices and the Governor on the recommended method for inclusion of G/T students in the accountability system along with proposed legislation.
The Texas Education Agency indicates minimal costs associated with the required study and report; however, this analysis assumes the agency can absorb the related costs by using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
