notwithstanding any other provision of this title, a school
district is entitled to state revenue necessary to provide the
district with the sum of:
(1) the amount of state revenue necessary to maintain

(B) the amount of state and local revenue per
student in weighted average daily attendance for the maintenance
and operations of the district to which the district would have been
entitled for the 2006-2007 school year under this chapter, as it
existed on January 1, 2006, or, if the district would have been
subject to Chapter 41, as that chapter existed on January 1, 2006,
the amount to which the district would have been entitled under that
chapter, based on the funding elements in effect for the 2005-2006
school year, if the district imposed a maintenance and operations
tax at the rate adopted by the district for the 2005 tax year; or
(C) the amount of state and local revenue per
student in weighted average daily attendance for the maintenance
and operations of the district to which the district would have been
entitled for the 2006-2007 school year under this chapter, as it
existed on January 1, 2006, or, if the district would have been
subject to Chapter 41, as that chapter existed on January 1, 2006,
the amount to which the district would have been entitled under that
chapter, based on the funding elements in effect for the 2005-2006

(k)(1), Tax Code, as applicable, for the 2006 tax year;
(2) an amount equal to the product of $2,500

(b-1) The amount determined for a school district under
Subsection (b) is increased or reduced as follows:
(1) if for any school year the district is entitled to
a greater allotment under Section 42.158 than the allotment to
which the district was entitled under that section for the school
year on which the district's entitlement under Subsection (b) is
based, the district's entitlement under Subsection (b) is increased
by an amount equal to the difference between the amount to which the
district is entitled under Section 42.158 for that school year and
the amount to which the district was entitled under that section
for:
(A) the 2005-2006 school year, if the amount
determined for the district under Subsection (b) is determined

allotment under that section than the allotment to which the
district was entitled under that section for the school year on
which the district's entitlement under Subsection (b) is based, the
district's entitlement under Subsection (b) is reduced by an amount
equal to the difference between the amount to which the district was
entitled under Section 42.158 for the 2005-2006 or 2006-2007 school
year, as appropriate based on whether the district's entitlement
under Subsection (b) is determined under Subsection (b)(1)(A), (B),
