Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB1566 by Kolkhorst (Relating to certain powers and duties of the board of trustees of an independent school district and the governing body of an open-enrollment charter school.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the roles and responsibilities of local school board trustees and require the creation of a secure data portal for trustee review of campus and district academic achievement data during the local decision making processes.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2017.
The Texas Education Agency indicates that implementation of the bill would result in a cost; however, this analysis assumes that the cost could be absorbed with existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
