Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend Education Code, Section 39.053 to require that districts with a student enrollment of at least 1,000 African American males be assigned accountability ratings for Domains I to IV for the district and schools based only on the academic achievement differentials among African American males.The bill would take effect immediately if passed with the necessary voting margins, or on September 1, 2017, and would apply beginning with school year 2017-18.
Methodology
The Texas Education Agency indicates the bill would require the development and maintenance of two separate accountability systems since federal regulations require that federal accountability ratings include the performance of all student groups for all districts and campuses in the state. Based on information provided by TEA, two full-time equivalent (FTE) positions would be required to assist with the development and maintenance of the accountability system for districts with a student enrollment of at least 1,000 African American males. The estimated cost of the FTEs, including salary, benefits, and other associated operating expenses, would be $273,413 in fiscal year 2018 and $257,413 in subsequent years.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
