Methodology Based on information provided by the Texas Education Agency (TEA), this analysis assumes the agency would require a total of eight new full-time equivalent positions to implement the provisions of the bill. The estimated cost of these positions, including salary, benefits, and other operating expenses, would be $687,156 in fiscal year 2014, and $623,156 in subsequent fiscal years. Based on information provided by TEA, it is assumed that review committees would need to be convened for the review of curriculum materials required by the bill. The review committees would need to meet an estimated five times per year in fiscal years 2014 and 2015 and once per year in subsequent years. The review committees would have an estimated total of 60 members and the meetings are estimated to last three days and two nights. The estimated cost of travel reimbursement related to the review committees would be $231,200 in fiscal years 2014 and 2015, and $46,240 in subsequent years. Local Government Impact No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
