Fiscal Analysis
The bill would stipulate certain requirements for admissions to educator preparation programs including minimum grade point average requirements for previous higher education coursework and minimum required credit hours in the area of certification. The bill would require that the Texas Education Agency (TEA) conduct an annual analysis of the regional cost of living across the state to determine if teacher salaries are comparable to salaries paid in comparable professions. The bill would require that TEA conduct periodic audits of professional development requirements for educators to eliminate conflicting and duplicative provisions among state, local, and federal requirements. The bill would require TEA to produce an annual report on the effectiveness of educator mentoring programs and would establish an advisory committee including members appointed by the Lieutenant Governor and the Speaker of the House to develop guidelines related to teacher induction and mentoring. The bill directs that TEA provide administrative support for the committee. The bill would require TEA, the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC), and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) to jointly review standards applicable to educator preparation programs and develop and implement modifications to reflect current teaching standards. The bill would require TEA to conduct a statewide survey of working conditions for public school teachers.

Methodology
To the extent that provisions related to admissions requirements for educator preparation programs results in decreased enrollment at institutions of higher education, those institutions would have a decrease in tuition revenue and there could be general revenue savings associated with the formula. TEA estimates a cost of $500,000 in FY2014 and $300,000 in each subsequent year for the annual cost of living analysis required by the bill. TEA estimates a $300,000 cost in FY2014 to contract for the statewide survey of working conditions for public school teachers.
