|
|
BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the State of |
|
|
Texas, 84th Legislature, Regular Session, 2015, That House Rule 13, |
|
|
Section 9(a), be suspended in part as provided by House Rule 13, |
|
|
Section 9(f), to enable the conference committee appointed to |
|
|
resolve the differences on House Bill 1842 (public school |
|
|
accountability, including the intervention in and sanction of a |
|
|
public school that has received an academically unsuccessful |
|
|
performance rating for at least two consecutive school years and |
|
|
the designation of a school district as a district of innovation) to |
|
|
consider and take action on the following matter: |
|
|
House Rule 13, Section 9(a)(4), is suspended to permit the |
|
|
committee to add text on a matter which is not included in either |
|
|
the house or senate version of the bill in proposed SECTION 12 of |
|
|
the bill, in added Section 39.107(g-1), Education Code, to read as |
|
|
follows: |
|
|
(g-1) If the commissioner orders alternative management of |
|
|
a campus under Subsection (d)(2), the school district shall execute |
|
|
a contract with a managing entity for a term not to exceed five |
|
|
years. The commissioner may require a district to extend the term |
|
|
of the contract if the commissioner determines that extending the |
|
|
contract on expiration of the initial term is in the best interest |
|
|
of the students attending the campus. The terms of the contract must |
|
|
be approved by the commissioner. If a campus receives an |
|
|
academically unacceptable performance rating for two consecutive |
|
|
school years after the managing entity assumes management of the |
|
|
campus, the commissioner shall cancel the contract with the |
|
|
managing entity. |
|
|
Explanation: This change is necessary to ensure that the |
|
|
commissioner of education may require a school district to extend |
|
|
the term of a contract with a managing entity for the alternative |
|
|
management of a campus if the commissioner determines the extension |
|
|
is in the best interest of the students attending the campus. |
