required under the bill would be significantly more customized and detailed than the current
plans, which are based on a template, and TEA reports they would require a new staff division to
approve and monitor campus turnaround plans. This analysis assumes that one Director full-time
equivalent (FTE), three Program Specialist FTEs, and one Administrative Assistant FTE in fiscal
year 2016 would be required to approve and monitor campus turn-around plans, adopt transition
plans, conduct on-site investigations, identify deficiencies and possible solutions, and provide
technical assistance. Once full implementation begins, it is assumed that one additional Program
Specialist FTEs will be needed in FY 2017 and subsequent years.
The TEA would contract with RESCs at an estimated cost of $200,000 per year to develop and
deliver training on school reform planning processes.
The estimated cost to expand the network capacity for the leased space for the new TEA division
is $12,828 in FY 2016 and $12,000 per year to maintain. The estimated addition cost for leased
space is $21,465 annually.
The commissioner would be required to provide each board of managers member with training in
effective leadership strategies at a cost of $5,000 per board. Currently, two districts would require
a board of managers creating a total training cost of $10,000. Every third year, one-third of the
board would be replaced generating a cost of $3,333. In the future, the number of districts
requiring a board of managers could vary significantly based on the number of campuses with
turnaround plans that the commissioner does not approve. Because of this, costs could also vary
significantly.
The Legislative Budget Board reporting provisions in the bill can be accomplished with existing
resources.
Local Government Impact
Districts may contract with RESCs or IHEs for services and may be required to retain other
expertise or board of managers.
There may be some administrative costs for required postings or notifications, hiring of special
experts or RESCs, or extensions of conservators or management teams. However, such costs
would only apply to districts with low performing campuses and would vary depending on the
individual circumstances.
