IN RE:
HB828 by Hochberg (Relating to the computation of certain amounts under the Foundation School Program.), Conference Committee Report

No adverse impact on equalized funding requirements and policies affecting public education is anticipated from the provisions of this bill.  In the event of a decline in the yield represented by the amount of tax revenue per weighted student per cent of tax effort available to the Austin Independent School District, the bill would maintain the level of equalization provided in the prior year under the enrichment tier of the Foundation School Program.
