A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
|
|
|
AN ACT
|
|
|
relating to an adjustment of the average daily attendance of a |
|
|
school district with a high percentage of educationally |
|
|
disadvantaged students. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 48.005, Education Code, is amended by |
|
|
adding Subsection (a-2) to read as follows: |
|
|
(a-2) Notwithstanding any other adjustment to average daily |
|
|
attendance to which a school district may be entitled under this |
|
|
section, if the percentage of educationally disadvantaged students |
|
|
enrolled in a school district for a school year exceeds the state |
|
|
average percentage of educationally disadvantaged students |
|
|
enrolled in school districts for that school year, the commissioner |
|
|
shall adjust the district's average daily attendance for that |
|
|
school year by multiplying the district's average daily attendance |
|
|
by an amount, if that amount is greater than one, equal to the |
|
|
quotient of the state average student attendance rate and the |
|
|
district's student attendance rate. For purposes of this |
|
|
subsection, a district's student attendance rate is the quotient of |
|
|
the sum of attendance by students in membership for purposes of |
|
|
average daily attendance for each day of the minimum number of days |
|
|
of instruction as described under Section 25.081(a) divided by the |
|
|
sum of the number of days of the minimum number of days of |
|
|
instruction for which those students are in membership. |
|
|
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2023. |
