Amend CSHB 130 (Senate committee report) as follows. Insert
new SECTION 5 and renumber subsequent sections accordingly:
SECTION 5. FUNDING FOR GRANTS UNDER 29.155. Funds
appropriated to fund eligible prekindergarten programs under
Section 29.155, Education Code, may be used in the 2009-2010 school
year, with prior written approval from the Governor and the
Legislative Budget Board, to support at the same level of funding as
the 2008-2009 school year districts that received grant funds for
such programs under Section 29.155 in the 2008-2009 school year,
and to fund additional districts that have received notice of grant
awards for such programs for the 2009-2010 school year. If
additional state or federal funds become available to support such
programs for the 2010-2011 school year, the commissioner of
education shall have authority and flexibility to provide funds for
all such programs. If additional funds are not sufficient to fund
all such programs in the 2010-2011 school year at the amount per
student provided in the 2009-2010 school year, funding for all
participating districts shall be reduced proportionally. All funds
appropriated that are not expended in the 2009-2010 school year are
transferred to the 2010-2011 school year, and the commissioner may
use such funds to support additional programs and services for
eligible prekindergarten students.
