If the legislature does not appropriate money specifically for that purpose, TEA may, but is not required to, implement a provision of the bill using other appropriations available for that purpose.
The bill would make no appropriation but could provide the legal basis for an appropriation of funds to implement the provisions of the bill.

Fiscal Analysis
The bill would makes multiple changes to the requirements for accelerated instruction such as removing the requirement to convene Accelerated Learning Committees, reducing the required hours for accelerated instruction and modifying the subject areas required to receive accelerated instruction. The bill would require TEA to develop rules for student transfers and to monitor the effectiveness of accelerated instruction.

TEA estimates wages, benefits, and start-up costs to be $245,514 in fiscal year 2024 and $247,133 in subsequent years.
