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.
