relating to state financial assistance for a school district to | ||
which an academically unacceptable school district is annexed. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 13.054(g), Education Code, is amended to | ||
read as follows: | ||
(g) In order to assist with the costs of facility | ||
renovation, repair, and replacement, a [ |
||
territory is annexed under this section is entitled to additional | ||
state aid for five years, beginning with the school year in which | ||
the annexation occurs [ |
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
commissioner shall determine the amount of additional state aid | ||
provided each year by dividing the amount of debt service taxes | ||
received by the district during the tax year preceding the tax year | ||
in which the annexation occurs by the number of students enrolled in | ||
the district immediately preceding the date of annexation, and | ||
multiplying that result by the number of additional students | ||
enrolled in the district on September 1 after the date of | ||
annexation. The commissioner shall provide additional state aid | ||
under this subsection from funds appropriated for purposes of the | ||
Foundation School Program and available for that purpose. A | ||
determination by the commissioner under this subsection is final | ||
and may not be appealed. [ |
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
SECTION 2. Section 13.054, Education Code, as amended by | ||
this Act, applies to a school district to which territory is annexed | ||
under that section on or after July 1, 2016. | ||
SECTION 3. The commissioner of education is required to | ||
implement this Act only if the legislature appropriates money | ||
specifically for that purpose. If the legislature does not | ||
appropriate money specifically for that purpose, the commissioner | ||
of education may, but is not required to, implement this Act using | ||
other appropriations available for the purpose. | ||
SECTION 4. 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. |
