Amend CSHB 21 (house committee report) by adding the following appropriately numbered SECTION to the bill and renumbering subsequent SECTIONS of the bill accordingly:

SECTION ____.  Section 11.052, Education Code, is amended by amending Subsections (a) and (d) and adding Subsection (b-1) to read as follows:

(a) A school district described by Subsection (b-1) may not receive formula funding from any source for any purposes unless the board of trustees of that district is selected in the manner described by Subsection (b-1)

(a-1) Except as provided by Subsections [Subsection] (b) and (b-1), the board of trustees of an independent school district, on its own motion, may order that trustees of the district are to be elected from single-member trustee districts or that not fewer than 70 percent of the members of the board of trustees are to be elected from single-member trustee districts with the remaining trustees to be elected from the district at large.

(b-1)  This subsection applies only to an independent school district located in a county with a population of 3.3 million or more and with a student enrollment of more than 200,000. The board of trustees of a district subject to this subsection shall order that five trustees are to be elected from single-member districts, with the remaining trustees to be elected at large. Section 11.053 does not apply when the plan to divide the district into the appropriate number of trustee districts is adopted to comply with this subsection. If a board of trustees subject to this subsection fails to comply with this subsection, the school district is not entitled to receive state funds, including any formula funding, under this title.

(d)  An order of the board adopted under Subsection (a), [or] (b), or (b-1) must be entered not later than the 120th day before the date of the first election at which all or some of the trustees are elected from single-member trustee districts authorized by the order.
