A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to the small and mid-sized district allotment under the
public school finance system.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 48.101, Subchapter C, Chapter 48,
Education Code, is amended to read as follows:
Sec. 48.101. SMALL AND MID-SIZED DISTRICT ALLOTMENT. (a)
Small and mid-sized districts are entitled to an annual allotment
in accordance with this section. In this section:
(1) "AA" is the district's annual allotment per student in
average daily attendance;
(2) "ADA" is the number of students in average daily
attendance for which the district is entitled to an allotment under
Section 48.051; and
(3) "BA" is the basic allotment determined under Section
48.051.
(b) A school district that has fewer than 1,600 students in
average daily attendance is entitled to an annual allotment for
each student in average daily attendance based on the following
formula:
AA = ((1,600 - ADA) X .0004.0008) X BA
(c) A school district that offers a kindergarten through
grade 12 program and has less than 5,000 students in average daily
attendance is entitled to an annual allotment for each student in
average daily attendance based on the formula, of the following
formulas, that results in the greatest annual allotment:
(1) the formula in Subsection (b), if the district is
eligible for that formula; or
(2) AA = ((5,000 - ADA) X .000025.00005) X BA.
(d) Instead of the allotment under Subsection (b) or (c)(1),
a school district that has fewer than 300 students in average daily
attendance and is the only school district located in and operating
in a county is entitled to an annual allotment for each student in
average daily attendance based on the following formula:
AA = ((1,600 - ADA) X .00047.00094) X BA
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect on the 91st day after the
last day of the legislative session.
