Amend Amendment No. 86 by Guillen to CSSB 1 (page 117 of the
amendment packet) by striking on page 1, lines 4-15 of the amendment
and substituting the following:
It is the intent of the legislature that the agency shall
allocate state and federal adult basic education funds, other than
federal funds set aside for state administration, special projects,
and staff development, based on need for persons 18 years of age or
older who have not received a high school diploma. Funds available
to a service area in which there is no eligible service provider
providing student contact hours shall be distributed
proportionally by the agency to other eligible service providers in
the county. If there are no other eligible service providers in the
county, the funds allocated for that county shall be distributed
proportionally by the agency throughout the state to eligible
service providers by service area. Service providers providing
student contact hours for the 2008-2009 school year are entitled to
at least the same level of student contact hours in the 2009-2010
and 2010-2011 school years as the service provider provided in the
2008-2009 school year. It is the intent of the legislature that the
agency by rule or the legislature by enactment of an Act of the 81st
Legislature, Regular Session, shall establish that service
providers of adult education shall be paid on a student contact hour
and student performance basis and shall require that the total
number of eligible student contact hours must be based on the
student's level of performance on a designated literacy or basic
skills test so that the number of eligible student contact hours
funded is increased for a student with a lower performance level.
