            Senate Bill 1882 amends the Education Code to establish the eligibility of a school campus with an overall performance rating of unacceptable for an exemption from interventions, and of the applicable school district for additional funding, once the district contracts with an open-enrollment charter school or an entity granted a campus or program charter to partner to operate the campus. The commissioner of education is required to implement the bill only if the legislature appropriates money specifically for that purpose, but, in absence of such appropriation, the commissioner may implement the bill using other appropriations available for the purpose.
