Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend the process to determine the performance of a dropout recovery school by including only students who were continuously enrolled for one semester. The bill would also allow the consideration of the retake of a student's assessment in the performance of the school.The bill would require the Commissioner of Education to adopt accountability procedures that would measure student growth in a dropout recovery school by computing the average aggregate increase in each student's performance on an assessment instrument and would include the results of any primary administration of an assessment instrument at another school if the retake of the assessment instrument was administered by the dropout recovery school. The bill would take effect on September 1, 2015, or immediately if passed with the necessary voting margins, and apply beginning in school year 2015-16.
Methodology
The bill would require significant updates to the Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) data collection system to determine whether a student has been continuously enrolled during a semester. The Texas Education Agency estimates approximately 5,600 hours of effort at a cost of $537,664 in FY 2016 to complete these changes.
Technology
The estimated cost to update the PEIMS data collection system to identify students who have been continuously enrolled during a semester is $537,664 in FY 2016.
Local Government Impact
School districts would be required to update their Student Information Systems (SISs) to collect and report new PEIMS data to identify students who were continuously enrolled during a semester. These administrative costs would vary by district depending on whether the SIS was a vendor package or locally developed.
