Amend CSSB 1 (house committee printing) in Article III,
following appropriations to the Texas Education Agency, by amending
Rider 6 (page III-7) as follows:
6. Windham Schools. The funds appropriated above in
Strategy B.2.4, Windham School District, are to be expended only
for academic and vocational educational programs approved by the
Texas Education Agency. The Commissioner of Education shall
allocate funds to the Windham Schools based on contact hours for the
best 180 of 210 school days in each year of the biennium. The
contact hour rates for the 2010-11 biennium are the following:
$3.88349 for academic education, $2.95885 for vocational
education.
The Windham School District shall use funds appropriated
above to serve those students whose participation will help achieve
the goals of reduced recidivism and the increased success of former
inmates in obtaining and maintaining employment. To achieve these
goals, younger offenders with the lowest educational levels and the
earliest projected release or parole eligibility dates should
receive high priority. This policy shall not preclude the Windham
School District from serving other populations according to needs
and resources. The Windham School District will report to the
Eighty-second Legislature regarding its effort and success in
implementing this prioritization. The Windham School District will
also report to the Eighty-second Legislature regarding the
recidivism rates and employment rates during the 2010-11 biennium
of district students who successfully complete the district's
program.
