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.
