Fiscal Analysis
The bill would apply only to school districts with at least 1,000 African American males. Only the performance of African American males could be considered for the purposes of evaluating the performance of such a school district or such a school district's campuses. In the 2018 school year, 73 districts and charter schools reported more than 1,000 African American male students.
Methodology
According to the Texas Education Agency, two programmers would be required to make changes and support the new state accountability system requirements under the bill, while maintaining the current system to meet federal standards. The cost associated with two FTEs would be $250,787 in fiscal year 2020 and $242,788 in subsequent years.
Technology
No fiscal impact.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
