relating to the revocation of open-enrollment charter schools. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 12.115, Education Code, is amended by | ||
adding Subsection (c-2) to read as follows: | ||
(c-2) For purposes of revocation under (c)(1), performance | ||
for any school year shall not be considered lower than satisfactory | ||
if, but for a data error reported by the charter school to the | ||
Public Education Information Management System, the school would | ||
have received a satisfactory rating either under the standard | ||
accountability system or under the alternative accountability | ||
system. For any school year that an open-enrollment charter school | ||
demonstrates that it would have received a satisfactory rating but | ||
for a data error reported by the charter school to the Public | ||
Education Information Management System, the commissioner shall | ||
change the school’s academic rating accordingly. | ||
SECTION 2: As soon as practicable after the effective date | ||
of this Act, the commissioner of education shall adopt procedures | ||
for the application and implementation of Section 12.115(c-2), | ||
Education Code, as added by this Act. | ||
SECTION 3. Section 12.115 (c-2), Education Code, as added | ||
by this Act, shall apply to all revocations considered or processed | ||
by the commissioner of education after the effective date of this | ||
Act and shall nullify any charter school revocation process or | ||
surrender in lieu of revocation process or agreement that is being | ||
considered or processed by the Commissioner of Education for a | ||
charter school’s performance in the 2013-2014, 2014-2015, or | ||
2015-2016 school years. | ||
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. |
