 Fiscal Analysis

The bill would allow a school district to be reimbursed for the cost of transporting a career and technology education (CTE) student from a school bus stop to a campus under the transportation allotment. The bill would also allow a school district to provide a prepaid fuel card to a student when the regular transportation system of the school district is not a feasible means of transportation.

 Methodology

According to the Texas Education Agency (TEA), total annual CTE mileage reported by school districts in 20182019 was 9,076,821 miles, totaling $36,628,972 and an average rate of $4.04 per mile. Under an assumption that the bill would yield a 10 percent increase in mileage and routes, the agency estimates an increased cost to the Foundation School Program of $3,662,897 per fiscal year. The agency does not anticipate that the bill's  provisions related to prepaid fuel cards would have a fiscal impact.

 Technology

According to TEA, The cost to develop and implement the requirements of the bill in the FSP application are $23,913 in FY 22 and $71,740 in FY 23 for initial development effort for a total cost of $95,653.
