Fiscal Analysis
The bill would prohibit a teacher from being required to prepare individualized prompts for a student who will be administered an alternative assessment instrument for which a student's admission, review, and dismissal committee determines allowable modifications are necessary. The bill would require any prompt for use in the administration of the assessment instrument to be provided as supplementary information for the assessment instrument.
Methodology
Based on information provided by the Texas Education Agency, provisions of the bill would require a redevelopment of the alternative assessment instruments at an estimated cost of $1.1 million in fiscal year 2014.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
