Fiscal Analysis
The bill would require the State Board of Education (SBOE) to develop and make available to each school district and open-enrollment charter school additional instruction in (1) personal financial literacy, (2) computer coding, and (3) cybersecurity, to be used after the administration of state assessments.
Methodology
TEA reports that because SBOE does not develop curriculum, they would be required to contract with a public or private entity to develop the required instruction. It is anticipated that the cost to develop curriculum for the three required areas would be approximately $100,000 each, or a total of $300,000 in FY 2020.
Technology
No technology impact is anticipated.
Local Government Impact
Districts that choose to implement the new curriculum may have additional training and material costs.
