IN RE:
HB2263 by Gooden (Relating to continued monitoring of certain public school campuses that have been assigned a campus intervention team.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill's provisions would remove the requirement that a campus that had previously been assigned an unacceptable performance rating would continue to work with a campus intervention team (CIT). Under current statute, a campus previously assigned "Improvement Required" (IR) continued to work with a CIT to prepare and submit a targeted improvement plan for one or two years.
TEA estimates a reduction in the number of improvement plans submitted annually, and expects a cost savings to result from the bill. However, because these plans are from previously IR campuses, and the agency does not support them as extensively as it does multi-year IR campuses, the cost savings associated with the bill are not expected to be significant.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2017.
Local Government Impact
The bill's provisions would reduce costs to districts with a campus that would no longer be required to contract with a Professional Service Provider in the year after the campus meets standard.
