DIGEST AND PURPOSE 

Currently, Texas law prohibits property wealthy school districts, known as
Chapter 41 school districts, to use the mid-size school district
adjustment in calculating the Weighted Average Daily Attendance (WADA).
Chapter 41 districts have the same size-related inefficiencies as property
poor, or Chapter 42, districts.  As proposed, S.B. 352 repeals the
provision which prohibits Chapter 41 districts from utilizing the mid-size
school district adjustment.
