Texas Education Agency General Counsel David Anderson reportedly said at a committee hearing, "Right now, the state pays about $7,900 per student to districts. These [foreign children] would come with certain needs, like free or reduced lunch qualification as well as bilingual or special needs, so we estimate about $9,500 per student to be paid to the districts for those students."
Assuming all 4,800 released foreign minors enter the public school system, Texas will shell out about $45.6 million to educate these children.
Texans will be on the hook for subsidizing salaries for special teachers to accommodate the young migrants.
"You’re looking at more educators that are typically your hardest to hire,” Anderson continued. “Bilingual teachers, counselors and, even more rare, bilingual special education teachers."
Texas school districts will not inquire about the immigration status of the migrants, or any students, according to the Star-Telegram.
Anderson continued during the hearing, "They are just going to ask, ‘Does Johnny live in our district?' If the answer is, ‘yes,’ they are going to enroll the student."
