A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
|
|
|
AN ACT
|
|
|
relating to proportionality between state accountability |
|
|
performance indicators that apply to school districts and the |
|
|
State's share of the foundation school program for school |
|
|
districts. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 39.054, Education Code, is amended by |
|
|
adding Subsection (f) to read as follows: |
|
|
(f) For purposes of evaluating school districts and campus |
|
|
performance under this section, the commissioner may not use |
|
|
state-required performance indicators in Section 39.053 in a |
|
|
proportion that exceeds the percentage of the State share of the |
|
|
Foundation School Program estimated in Section 42.001(c) in each |
|
|
fiscal year, and a school district may substitute locally selected |
|
|
or developed performance indicators. |
|
|
SECTION 2. Section 42.001, Education Code, is amended by |
|
|
adding Subsection (c) to read as follows: |
|
|
|
|
|
(c) The General Appropriations Act shall include a |
|
|
Legislative Budget Board projection for each fiscal year of the |
|
|
percentage of State revenue sources that is estimated to constitute |
|
|
the State's share of the Foundation School Program for school |
|
|
districts statewide and of the percentage of local tax revenues |
|
|
that is estimated to constitute the local share of the Foundation |
|
|
School Program for school districts statewide, excluding federal |
|
|
funds. In this section, the term "local tax revenues" includes |
|
|
revenue that a school district is required to transfer to the State |
|
|
to reduce the school district's wealth per student to the equalized |
|
|
wealth level, and the term "state revenue sources" does not include |
|
|
such revenue. |
|
|
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2019. |
