A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 
AN ACT
  relating to proportionality between state accountability
  performance indicators that apply to school districts and the
  State's share of the foundation school program for school
  districts.
         BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
         SECTION 1.  Section 39.054, Education Code, is amended by
  adding Subsection (f) to read as follows:
         (f)  For purposes of evaluating school districts and campus
  performance under this section, the commissioner may not use
  state-required performance indicators in Section 39.053 in a
  proportion that exceeds the percentage of the State share of the
  Foundation School Program estimated in Section 42.001(c) in each
  fiscal year, and a school district may substitute locally selected
  or developed performance indicators.
         SECTION 2.  Section 42.001, Education Code, is amended by
  adding Subsection (c) to read as follows:
         
  (c)  The General Appropriations Act shall include a
  Legislative Budget Board projection for each fiscal year of the
  percentage of State revenue sources that is estimated to constitute
  the State's share of the Foundation School Program for school
  districts statewide and of the percentage of local tax revenues
  that is estimated to constitute the local share of the Foundation
  School Program for school districts statewide, excluding federal
  funds.  In this section, the term "local tax revenues" includes
  revenue that a school district is required to transfer to the State
  to reduce the school district's wealth per student to the equalized
  wealth level, and the term "state revenue sources" does not include
  such revenue.
         SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2019.
