Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend Subchapter C, Chapter 42, Education Code, by adding Section 42.1542, creating the Technology Applications Course Allotment. The bill would provide an annual allotment equal to the adjusted basic allotment multiplied by a weight of 1.35. The bill provides an additional $50 for a student enrolled in two or more advanced technology applications courses for a total of three or more credits for each full-time equivalent (FTE) student in average daily attendance (ADA) in an approved technology applications course. The bill would take effect September 1, 2017, and the allotment would apply beginning with the 2017-2018 school year.
Methodology
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) indicates there would be additional state cost for the FSP under the bill. Using data from the Public Education Information System (PEIMS) TEA found 81,051 technology applications classes were taken by students in grades 9-12 in 2016. This would translate into 6,754.25 FTE students for the purposes of FSP funding. Certain technology applications were designated as being eligible for the additional advanced career and technology allotment under Section 42.154 (a)(2), Education Code. TEA assumed the number of FTEs would increase by 12 percent annually, which is the annual average growth rate in participation in technology applications courses since 2014. TEA modeled the additional cost to the FSP represented by the estimated FTEs and calculated costs. The estimated cost for this bill would be $21.0 million in 2018, increasing to $24.1 million by 2022.
Local Government Impact
School districts and charter schools would receive additional funding through the proposedallotment under the Foundation School Program.
