IN RE:
HB4454 by Rodriguez (Relating to the adoption of social and emotional learning standards for public school educational programs.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
It is assumed that the provisions of the bill relating to adoption of social and emotional learning standards for public school educational programs could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
According to the Texas Education Agency, the bill may have fiscal implications for school districts to implement the new social and emotional learning program. There could be costs to local school districts associated with training teachers to effectively provide the required instruction. The costs may include the need for professional development and revisions to district-developed databases, curriculum, and scope and sequence documents. There may be additional costs related to instructional materials for the program.
