SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
Senate Bill 570 appropriates $600 thousand from the general fund to the Public Education
Department for the purpose of implementing a promise for success program in the Gadsden
Independent School District.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of $60 thousand contained in this bill is a recurring expense to the general
fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2008 shall
revert to the general fund.
The LFC remains concerned with funding initiatives outside of the funding formula as it tends to
disequalize school funding and diverts funding away from core educational needs.
Funding for truancy and dropout prevention is included as a recurring item in the General
Appropriations Act.
