IN RE:
SB1883 by Campbell (Relating to the approval of open-enrollment charter schools and the review of challenges by open-enrollment charter schools or school districts to accountability determinations.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would require the State Board of Education to adopt procedures for the appeal of a charter school application, and would require the Commissioner of Education to consider the applicant's application if the charter applicant prevails in an appeal to the State Board of Education.
The Texas Education Agency indicates there would be a cost to implement the provisions of the bill, but this analysis assumes any such cost could be absorbed within existing resources.
The bill would take effect immediately if it received a vote of two-thirds of the members elected to each chamber; otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2017.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
