Amend CSHB 3646 (Senate committee printing) by striking 
Section 42.160 (on page 7, lines 13 through 29) and substituting the 
following:
	Sec. 42.160.  HIGH SCHOOL ALLOTMENT.  (a)  A school district 
is entitled to an annual allotment in an amount determined by the 
commissioner under Subsection (a-1) for each student in weighted 
average daily attendance in grades 9 through 12 in the district.  
For purposes of this subsection, the number of students in weighted 
average daily attendance is calculated by multiplying the number of 
students in average daily attendance in grades 9 through 12 in the 
district by the ratio for the district of the number of students in 
weighted average daily attendance to the number of students in 
average daily attendance.
	(a-1)  The commissioner shall determine the amount of the 
allotment provided under Subsection (a) so that the total state 
cost of funding the allotment equals the total state cost of funding 
the allotment that would have resulted if the allotment were 
provided in the amount of $275 for each student in average daily 
attendance in grades 9 through 12 in the district.
	(b)  School district that is required to take action under 
Chapter 41 to reduce its wealth per student to the equalized wealth 
level is entitled to a credit, in the amount of the allotment to 
which the district is entitled under this section, against the 
total amount required under Section 41.093 for the district to 
purchase attendance credits.  A school district that is otherwise 
ineligible for state aid under this chapter is entitled to receive 
allotments under this section.
