Fiscal Analysis
The bill would provide an additional allotment under the Foundation School Program (FSP) compensatory education allotment equal to $650 per student in average daily attendance for those students who have a parent or guardian serving on active duty in a combat zone as a member of the United States armed forces or who have transferred to a school district as a result of actions taken under the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990. The bill would limit the total cost of the additional allotment on a statewide basis to $9.9 million annually, with proportional reductions to each district's allotment if entitlement exceeded this amount. The bill would take effect September 1, 2009. The allotment would expire at the end of fiscal year 2012.

Methodology
The bill would limit the state cost of the allotment to $9.9 million each year. Based on past estimates of eligible students, the maximum amount would be expended each year. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) would be required to collect information from districts to identify eligible students for the purpose of calculating entitlement and would incur costs to modify the FSP payment system. These administrative costs would not be anticipated to reach significant levels.
