campuses with unacceptable performance and the establishment of the | ||
Texas Achievement School District for educating students at certain | ||
low-performing campuses. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. The heading to Section 39.107, Education Code, | ||
is amended to read as follows: | ||
Sec. 39.107. RECONSTITUTION, REMOVAL, GRANT OF CHARTER, | ||
REPURPOSING, ALTERNATIVE MANAGEMENT, AND CLOSURE. | ||
SECTION 2. Section 39.107, Education Code, is amended by | ||
amending Subsections (a) and (a-1) and adding Subsections (a-2), | ||
(a-3), (a-4), (a-5), (a-6), (e-4), and (k-1) to read as follows: | ||
(a) After a campus has been identified as unacceptable for | ||
two consecutive school years, the commissioner shall determine | ||
whether the district has instituted meaningful change, including | ||
reconstituting the staff or leadership at the campus. If the | ||
commissioner determines that the campus has instituted meaningful | ||
change, the commissioner may reevaluate the campus under this | ||
subsection following the conclusion of the subsequent school year. | ||
If the commissioner determines that the campus has not instituted | ||
meaningful change, the commissioner shall, based on the | ||
commissioner's determination of the best remedy for the campus: | ||
(1) order the reconstitution of the campus under this | ||
section; | ||
(2) subject to Section 11.409, order the removal of | ||
the campus to the achievement school district as provided by | ||
Section 39.1071; or | ||
(3) grant a charter for the operation of the campus, | ||
subject to the provisions of Sections 12.054, 12.055, and 12.056, | ||
to an eligible entity as defined by Section 12.101(a). | ||
(a-1) At the request of the board of trustees of the | ||
district, the commissioner may annually for two consecutive years | ||
grant the district any power available to the achievement school | ||
district or waive any requirement not applicable to the achievement | ||
school district to address performance deficiencies in accordance | ||
with the following limitations: | ||
(1) the commissioner may grant only powers or waivers | ||
specifically requested by the board; | ||
(2) the board must provide evidence that the power or | ||
waiver requested will enable the district to overcome identified | ||
barriers to performance growth; and | ||
(3) when the grant of a power or waiver expires at the | ||
end of the first or second year in which it is operative, as | ||
determined by the commissioner, the campus will be removed to the | ||
achievement school district if the commissioner determines that the | ||
campus has not achieved a performance growth level that enables the | ||
campus to achieve acceptable performance within four years. | ||
(a-2) In making a determination regarding action to be taken | ||
under this section, the commissioner shall: | ||
(1) seek and give considerable weight to | ||
recommendations from parents of students enrolled at the campus and | ||
members of the community who reside in the attendance zone of the | ||
campus; and | ||
(2) consider the capacity of the district to reassign | ||
all educators under Section 39.1071(g). | ||
(a-3) In reconstituting a campus, a campus intervention | ||
team, with the involvement and advice of the school community | ||
partnership team, if applicable, shall assist the campus in: | ||
(1) developing an updated targeted improvement plan; | ||
(2) submitting the updated targeted improvement plan | ||
to the board of trustees of the school district for approval and | ||
presenting the plan in a public hearing as provided by Section | ||
39.106(e-1); | ||
(3) obtaining approval of the updated plan from the | ||
commissioner; and | ||
(4) executing the plan on approval by the | ||
commissioner. | ||
(a-4) The campus intervention team or a school community | ||
partnership team shall develop information regarding campus | ||
performance and available options for improving campus performance | ||
that may be provided to interested parties on request. | ||
(a-5) Notwithstanding Subsection (a), the commissioner may | ||
refrain from taking action otherwise required under that subsection | ||
against a campus based on campus performance for the 2014-2015 | ||
school year and preceding school years. If the commissioner takes | ||
action, the commissioner may not order the reconstitution of the | ||
campus and may only take other actions authorized by law. This | ||
subsection expires September 1, 2016. | ||
(a-6) In ordering the reconstitution of a campus or as an | ||
alternative to reconstitution, the commissioner may order, if a | ||
school district requests the order, that: | ||
(1) except as expressly provided by other law, the | ||
reconstituted campus and its employees and students are subject to | ||
a provision of this title to the extent and in the same manner that | ||
the provision applies to an open-enrollment charter school and its | ||
employees and students under Subchapter D, Chapter 12; or | ||
(2) the reconstituted campus, by agreement between the | ||
school district and the achievement school district, be transferred | ||
to or operated by the achievement school district. | ||
(e-4) If the commissioner orders repurposing of a campus or | ||
alternative management of a campus under Subsection (e-2), the | ||
campus shall remain a part of the school district in which the | ||
campus was included before the commissioner ordered repurposing or | ||
alternative management. | ||
(k-1) A managing entity may not assume management of a | ||
campus under this section if a member of the entity's management and | ||
leadership team provided any input to the commissioner regarding | ||
the commissioner's determination under Subsection (a). | ||
SECTION 3. Subchapter E, Chapter 39, Education Code, is | ||
amended by adding Section 39.1071 to read as follows: | ||
Sec. 39.1071. REMOVAL OF CAMPUS TO ACHIEVEMENT SCHOOL | ||
DISTRICT. (a) In this section, "prior system" has the meaning | ||
assigned by Section 11.401(b). | ||
(b) As provided by Section 39.107, the commissioner may | ||
order the removal of a campus to the achievement school district | ||
established by Subchapter I, Chapter 11. | ||
(c) The students assigned to attend the campus or the | ||
students who would have been eligible to attend the campus if the | ||
campus had remained in the prior system may choose to attend the | ||
campus under the jurisdiction of the achievement school district or | ||
may exercise an option, made available by the prior system, to | ||
attend another campus remaining under the jurisdiction of the prior | ||
system. | ||
(d) Students who were eligible to attend a campus under the | ||
prior system or who would have been eligible to attend the campus if | ||
the campus had remained in the prior system may attend that campus | ||
at the achievement school district. Other students eligible to | ||
attend a campus of the prior system other than the campus | ||
transferred to the achievement school district may choose to attend | ||
the campus transferred to the achievement school district if the | ||
campus has the ability to enroll more students. | ||
(e) Effective on a date determined by the commissioner after | ||
consulting with the superintendent of the achievement school | ||
district, a campus subject to this section shall be removed from the | ||
jurisdiction of the school district and transferred to the | ||
jurisdiction of the achievement school district. On that date, the | ||
school district from which the campus was removed becomes the prior | ||
system. | ||
(f) The removed campus shall be reorganized and reformed, as | ||
necessary, and operated by the achievement school district. | ||
(g) The superintendent of the achievement school district | ||
shall decide which educators may be retained at that campus in the | ||
superintendent's sole discretion. If the achievement school | ||
district does not retain an educator, that educator may be assigned | ||
to another position by the prior system. | ||
(h) A certified teacher with regular and direct | ||
responsibility for providing classroom instruction to students who | ||
is employed at the removed campus by the prior system shall be given | ||
priority consideration for employment in a comparable position by | ||
the achievement school district's superintendent. A person | ||
employed by the prior system at a removed campus may choose to | ||
remain in the employ of the prior system, and in that case, the | ||
prior system shall retain and reassign the person consistent with | ||
the prior system's contractual obligations or policies regarding | ||
the retention and reassignment of employees. | ||
(i) For the purposes of any benefit or right requiring | ||
continuous service or based on years of service, the prior system | ||
shall grant a leave of absence to a person employed by the | ||
achievement school district who was employed at a campus when the | ||
campus was removed under this section. The prior system shall | ||
consider the period during which the achievement school district | ||
operates the campus to be service time with the prior system if the | ||
employee returns to the prior system's employment, but the prior | ||
system is not required to provide benefits during such leave. | ||
(j) The benefits and privileges of any person employed in a | ||
campus by the achievement school district who was not employed by | ||
the prior system at the time the campus was removed to the | ||
achievement school district shall be those determined by the | ||
achievement school district at the time of such employment in | ||
compliance with applicable law. | ||
(k) The achievement school district shall retain | ||
jurisdiction over any campus removed to the district until the | ||
commissioner, on the recommendation of the achievement school | ||
district's superintendent, enters into an agreement with the prior | ||
system for return of the campus to the prior system. | ||
(l) When a campus in the achievement school district | ||
achieves an acceptable level of performance under this chapter, the | ||
commissioner shall direct the achievement school district to seek | ||
agreement for the return of the campus to the prior system. An | ||
agreement between the commissioner and the prior system for the | ||
return of the campus shall include: | ||
(1) details for the operation of the campus by the | ||
prior system, including provisions for the continuation of the | ||
programs that have provided the basis for the academic achievement | ||
by the students; | ||
(2) provisions for the employment status of all | ||
persons employed by the achievement school district who were not | ||
employed by the prior system at the time the campus was removed to | ||
the achievement school district; and | ||
(3) provisions for the means and timetable for the | ||
campus's transition and return to the prior system. | ||
(m) If the commissioner and the prior system do not reach | ||
agreement under Subsection (l), the commissioner may impose on the | ||
district and campus a plan that satisfies Subsections (l)(1), (2), | ||
and (3). | ||
(n) If a campus has been operating under arrangements | ||
established by the achievement school district for three years, or | ||
two years if the commissioner determines that the campus has not | ||
made meaningful progress during those two years, and the campus has | ||
failed during that period of three or two years, as applicable, to | ||
achieve an acceptable level of performance under this chapter, the | ||
commissioner shall: | ||
(1) take the following action: | ||
(A) direct the superintendent of the achievement | ||
school district to organize a new campus of the achievement school | ||
district for the purpose of educating the students attending the | ||
campus initially removed from the prior system under this section | ||
in the manner determined by the superintendent as most likely to | ||
bring the campus to an acceptable level of performance, which may be | ||
done by designing and granting a campus charter as described in | ||
Section 39.107(a)(3); or | ||
(B) in accordance with a proposal for improving | ||
campus performance submitted by the prior system, return the campus | ||
to the prior system; and | ||
(2) include a report of actions taken under | ||
Subdivision (1) in the annual report prepared under Section 39.332. | ||
(o) If the commissioner determines that the basis for the | ||
unsatisfactory performance of a campus for two consecutive school | ||
years is limited to a specific condition that may be remedied with | ||
targeted technical assistance, the commissioner may require the | ||
district to contract for the appropriate technical assistance | ||
instead of removal under this section. | ||
(p) On request, the commissioner and the superintendent of | ||
the achievement school district shall provide information | ||
concerning the new operations and performance of a campus to the | ||
prior system. | ||
(q) Notwithstanding any other provision of this code, the | ||
funding for a campus operated by the achievement school district | ||
must be not less than the funding of the other campuses in the prior | ||
system on a per student basis so that the achievement school | ||
district receives at least the same funding the campus would | ||
otherwise have received, provided that the prior system receives | ||
the same amount per student in a given year. | ||
(r) A campus operated by the achievement school district may | ||
change its name only on agreement of the prior system and the | ||
achievement school district. A diploma issued to a student who | ||
graduates from high school at a campus operated by the achievement | ||
school district must bear without variation of any kind the name the | ||
campus bore before removal to the prior system. | ||
(s) The commissioner may adopt rules necessary to implement | ||
this section. | ||
