Fiscal Analysis
This bill would require the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to complete a study on standards for school district maintenance of facilities and custodial services, including custodial workloads. The study would be required to identify the maintenance and custodial staff needed to adequately meet a typical school district's needs; the tasks required to be completed by maintenance and custodial staff; and any additional funding or other resources, if any, needed by school districts to meet the standards recommended by the study. TEA would be required to submit a report to the legislature no later than December 1, 2020.
Methodology
Based on information provided by TEA, it is estimated that implementing the provisions of the bill would result in a total one-time cost to the state of $200,000 from the General Revenue Fund to conduct a study and provide a report regarding recommended standards for school district maintenance of facilities and custodial services.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
