A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to an adjustment of the average daily attendance of a
school district with a certain student attendance rate.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 48.005, Education Code, is amended by
adding Subsection (a-1) to read as follows:
(a-1) Notwithstanding any other adjustment to average daily
attendance to which a school district may be entitled under this
section, for a school year in which a district's student attendance
rate is less than the average of the district's student attendance
rate for the preceding three school years, the commissioner shall
adjust the average daily attendance of the district by multiplying
the district's average daily attendance by an amount equal to the
quotient of the average of the district's student attendance rate
for the preceding three school years divided by the district's
student attendance rate. For purposes of this subsection:
(1) the 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; and
(2) in calculating the district's student attendance
rate for the preceding three school years, the commissioner shall
use the three most recent preceding school years excluding any
school year during which a statewide disaster declaration was
issued by the governor under Chapter 418, Government Code.
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2023.
