      SECTION ____. If the commissioner of education determines
that the change in the method of computing weighted average daily
attendance under Section 42.302, Education Code, as amended by this
Act, would, for the 1999-2000 and 2000-2001 school years, result in
an increase in foundation school fund entitlements to school
districts that exceeds $100 million, the commissioner shall reduce
the foundation school fund entitlements for the 1999-2000 school
year in an amount necessary to fully fund the change in the method
of computing weighted average daily attendance for the 2000-2001
school year.  In making a reduction under this section, the
commissioner shall compute weighted average daily attendance for
the 1999-2000 school year by deducting from a school district's
allotments under Subchapters B and C, Chapter 42, Education Code,
an amount less than the full amount of each portion of the
allotment under Section 42.152, Education Code, that is withheld
for distribution or transfer for a specified purpose, in a manner
designed to ensure that:
            (1)  the proportional difference in weighted average
daily attendance as computed under Section 42.302, Education Code,
as amended by this Act, and as computed under this section, is the
same for each school district; and
            (2)  the amount deducted for the 1999-2000 school year
under this section will fully fund the change in the method of
computing weighted average daily attendance for the 2000-2001
school year.
