LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION February 22, 2013 TO: Honorable Jimmie Don Aycock, Chair, House Committee On Public Education FROM: Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB234 by Guillen (Relating to the optional flexible school day program provided by school districts.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would expand eligibility for the Optional Flexible School Day Program (OFSDP) by permitting school districts to apply to provide an OFSDP for a campus or campuses that would benefit from the program. Based on the analysis of the Texas Education Agency, duties related to the potential increase in OFSDP applications could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.

There could be some administrative costs for changes to attendance accounting procedures to implement the OFSDP, but these costs would be voluntary and could be offset with possible savings, depending on how the program was implemented.
