A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT

relating to the weight of the compensatory education allotment 
under the public school finance system.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:                        
	SECTION 1.  Section 42.152(a), Education Code, is amended to 
read as follows:
	(a)  For each student who is educationally disadvantaged or 
who is a student who does not have a disability and resides in a 
residential placement facility in a district in which the student's 
parent or legal guardian does not reside, a district is entitled to 
an annual allotment equal to the adjusted basic allotment 
multiplied by 0.2 if the district has a wealth per student that is 
equal to or less than the equalized wealth level or by 0.3 if the 
district has a wealth per student that exceeds the equalized wealth 
level, and by 2.41 for each full-time equivalent student who is in a 
remedial and support program under Section 29.081 because the 
student is pregnant.  In this subsection, "equalized wealth level" 
and "wealth per student" have the meanings assigned by Section 
41.001.
	SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2003.
