Fiscal Analysis
The bill would require the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to redevelop assessment instruments for significantly cognitively disabled students. These assessment instruments could not require a teacher to prepare tasks or materials for a student who would be administered the assessment instrument. The bill would require the redeveloped assessment instruments to be administered beginning with the 2014–2015 school year.
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.
