LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION April 19, 2013 TO: Honorable Dan Patrick, Chair, Senate Committee on Education FROM: Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:SB1718 by West (Relating to state interventions and sanctions against public school campuses with unacceptable performance and the establishment of the Texas Achievement School District for educating students at certain low-performing campuses.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would create the Texas Achievement School District (TASD) to manage and operate campuses identified as unacceptable in the state accountability system for two consecutive school years that are removed from their home district at the discretion of the commissioner of education, pursuant to the provisions of the bill. For funding purposes, the bill stipulates that the TASD would be entitled to Foundation School Program funding as if it were a district without a Tier 1 local share. The bill further stipulates that the FSP entitlement for the school district or charter holder from which the campus is removed is reduced by the amount received by the Texas Achievement School District, including the Tier 1 local share. As such, TEA estimates the fiscal impact to the FSP to be neutral under the provisions of the bill. Other costs to TEA related to implementing the provisions of the bill are not estimated to be significant. Local Government Impact School districts and open-enrollment charter schools with campuses in the TASD would be required to collaborate with the TASD and would experience a loss of revenue associated with students served on campuses removed to the TASD.
