Amend SB 894 by inserting the following appropriately 
numbered SECTION and renumbering the subsequent SECTIONS of the 
bill accordingly:
	SECTION _____.  Subchapter C, Chapter 39, Education Code, is 
amended by adding Section 39.056 to read as follows:
	Sec. 39.056.  EXPECTED NUMBER OF GRADUATES, DROPOUT COUNT, 
AND DROPOUT RATE; REPORT.  (a)  In this section:
		(1)  "A" is the number of students enrolled at a campus 
at grade level 9;
		(2)  "B" is the number of students not enrolled at a 
campus at grade level 9 who subsequently enrolled at the campus at 
the same grade level as the students described by Subdivision (1);
		(3)  "C" is the number of those students described by 
Subdivisions (1) and (2) who remain enrolled at the same campus but 
have not met the requirements of Chapter 28, Education Code;
		(4)  "D" is the number of those students described by 
Subdivisions (1) and (2):
			(A)  who enroll at another campus, including a 
private school campus, in a program that grants a high school 
diploma; and
			(B)  whose enrollment is verified by the receiving 
campus;          
		(5)  "E" is the number of students described by 
Subdivisions (1) and (2) who die while enrolled at the campus before 
receiving a high school diploma;
		(6)  "F" is the number of students described by 
Subdivisions (1) and (2) who receive a high school diploma before 
completing grade level 12;
		(7)  "G" is the number of students who meet the 
requirements of Chapter 28, Education Code.
		(8)  "EG" is the expected number of graduates;                         
		(9)  "DC" is the dropout count;                                        
		(10)  "DR" is the dropout rate.                                        
	(b)  In addition to the computation of dropout rates under 
Section 39.051(b)(2), the agency shall compute the following 
dropout information for school campuses, school districts, and the 
state and make the information available to the public in an annual 
report:
		(1)  the expected number of graduates, as determined by 
the formula: 

EG = (A + B) - (C + D + E + F);
		(2)  the dropout count of students at a school campus, 
as determined by the formula:

DC = EG - G; and
		(3)  the dropout rate of students at a school campus, as 
determined by the formula:

DR = (DC / (A + B)) x 100.
	(c)  The expected number of graduates, dropout count, and 
dropout rate of students enrolled in a school district or in this 
state are computed under this section in the same manner as the 
expected number of graduates, dropout count, and dropout rate of a 
campus under this section.
	(d)  The agency may not use for purposes of accountability or 
accreditation the expected number of graduates, dropout count, or 
dropout rate computed under this section.
