Fiscal Analysis
This bill would require the State Board of Education to adopt rules for instruction in automated external defibrillators (AED) for students in grades 7 through 12. School districts and open-enrollment charter schools would be required to provide instruction in accordance with the adopted rules.
Methodology
According to the Texas Education Agency (TEA), there are 4,087 total campuses that serve students in grades 7 through 12 and the cost to train each staff member to instruct students would be $70. TEA assumes grants would cover the cost to train one staff member at 75.0 percent of campuses and two staff members at 25.0 percent of campuses, for a total grant cost of approximately $357,613 per year.
Technology
The agency estimates the cost to add one new data element to indicate instruction in the use of an AED in the Texas Records Exchange system (TREx) would be $1,897 in fiscal year 2024 and $4,076 in fiscal year 2025.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. There would likely be some costs to local districts and schools to develop and provide instruction in the use of an AED. These costs could be offset if the district were to receive a donation.
