unacceptable if, but for a data error reported by the |
|
open-enrollment charter school to the Public Education Information |
|
Management System (PEIMS), the school would have received an |
|
acceptable rating under the accountability procedures applicable |
|
to the school. If the school demonstrates that the school would |

|
effective date of this Act until the open-enrollment charter school |
|
is given an opportunity to demonstrate a data error claim. |
|
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives |
|
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as |
|
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this |
|
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this |
|
Act takes effect September 1, 2017. |
