LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION March 28, 2009 TO: Honorable Rob Eissler, Chair, House Committee on Public Education FROM: John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB1423 by Guillen (Relating to granting charters to public junior colleges for open-enrollment charter schools.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. To the extent that open-enrollment charter schools operated by public junior colleges may enroll some students who would not otherwise enroll in public school districts or open-enrollment charter schools, there would be fiscal implications for increased Foundation School Program costs of approximately $5,150 per weighted student. Current law permits public senior universities to receive charters and operate open-enrollment charter schools. To date, only a small number of such charters have been sought and granted. Assuming that applications for charters made by public junior colleges would follow a similar pattern, the immediate fiscal impact to the state would be expected to be minimal. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
