Senate Bill 276 amends the Education Code to remove the cap on the number of students who may attend an adult high school diploma and industry certification charter school program and to establish the state public education law to which such a program is subject. The bill requires the commissioner of education to develop and adopt performance frameworks to measure the performance of such a program and requires the commissioner to annually evaluate program performance. The bill repeals certain Texas Education Agency reporting requirements regarding such programs. The bill takes effect May 23, 2017, but only if a specific appropriation is provided for additional funding for the increase in the number of program participants above 150 in a general appropriations act of the 85th Legislature.
