Senate Author: Taylor, Larry |

House Sponsor: Faircloth |
Senate Bill 1353 amends the Education Code to entitle a public school district to which an academically unacceptable school district is annexed to additional state aid for five years to assist with the costs of facility renovation, repair, and replacement. The bill revises the method for determining additional state aid to which such a district is entitled based on debt service taxes. The commissioner of education is required to implement the bill only if the legislature appropriates money specifically for that purpose. If the legislature does not appropriate money specifically for that purpose, the commissioner may, but is not required to, implement the bill using other appropriations available for the purpose.
