Fiscal Analysis
The bill's provisions would allow for a high school graduate to qualify for the College Career Military Readiness (CCMR) outcomes bonus by reporting their employment at or above a minimum salary level, as established by commissioner rule. Based on commissioner rule, schools could award qualifying graduates a portion of the bonus.
Methodology
TEA estimates 14,000 additional graduates would qualify for a CCMR outcomes bonus in a given year, assuming a minimum salary level at or above the Texas living wage ($23,873). This would result in an annual $4,400 per graduate bonus or $61,600,000 statewide beginning in FY 2022.TEA's cost estimate to implement data collection related to the salary and employment status of graduates to be $21,059 FY 2022 and $63,177 in FY 2023.
Technology
TEA would need to collect and report on additional data related to the salary and employment status of graduates.
Local Government Impact
The bill's provisions would require districts to gather and report data on the salary and employment status of graduates. School districts and charter schools may generate additional funding if more graduates meet career readiness indicators. Additionally, schools would need to plan for providing a portion of the CCMR Outcome bonus to graduates who meet requirements.
