revenue to which the district is entitled under Subsection (b) for 

that school year by an amount equal to any additional revenue for 

that school year that the district receives and retains as a result 

of that agreement, which is the amount by which the total 

maintenance and operations revenue available to the district 

exceeds the total maintenance and operations revenue that would 

have been available to the district if the district had not entered 

into the agreement and had imposed a maintenance and operations tax 

at the maximum rate permitted under Section 45.003(d), less any 

amount the district pays to another entity under the agreement.
