IN RE:
HB2806 by Ashby (Relating to requiring school districts and open-enrollment charter schools to report certain information regarding voluntary after-school programs and voluntary summer programs.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Education Code to require school districts and open-enrollment charter schools to report through the Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) the number of students identified with dyslexia at a campus who are participating in a voluntary after-school program, including the percentage of the student population of the campus attending the program; and who are participating in a voluntary summer program, including the percent of the student population attending the program. The bill would require each school district and open-enrollment charter school to report in PEIMS the number of districts or school campuses that offer a voluntary after-school program, or a voluntary summer program.
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) indicates it could absorb the costs associated with the provisions of the bill with existing resources.
Local Government Impact
School districts and open-enrollment charter schools would incur costs associated with the additional reporting requirements. Certain districts may experience costs resulting from the need to update software to comply with the bill's requirements. However, costs would vary among districts based on a the number of campuses and existing policies and resources.
