SENATE RESOLUTION
|
|
|
BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th |
|
|
Legislature, Regular Session, 2015, That Senate Rule 12.03 be |
|
|
suspended in part as provided by Senate Rule 12.08 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: |
|
|
Senate Rule 12.03(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. |
