Senate Bill 453 amends the Education Code to require a school district or open-enrollment charter school, if a student is required to pay tuition to cover the cost of the student's education as a condition of obtaining or holding the appropriate United States student visa, to accept tuition for the student in an amount equal to the full unsubsidized per capita cost of providing the student's education for the period of the student's attendance at school in the district or at the charter school. The bill requires the commissioner of education to develop guidelines for determining the amount of that cost and caps the amount of tuition a district or charter school may accept at the amount computed under the commissioner's guidelines, unless the commissioner approves a greater amount as a more accurate reflection of the cost of education to be provided by the district or charter school.
