69	69	provided at the high school level, the high school allotment
70	70	provided under Section 42.2516(b)(3) may be used to meet the
71	71	additional funding requirement prescribed by this subsection.]

111	111	cent of tax effort available to a district as a result of the
112	112	guaranteed level provided by Section 42.302(a-1)(1) [at the 88th
113	113	percentile in wealth per student], for the district's maintenance
114	114	and operations tax effort equal to or less than the rate equal to
115	115	the product of the state compression percentage, as determined
116	116	under Section 42.2516, multiplied by the maintenance and operations
117	117	tax rate adopted by the district for the 2005 tax year;
118	118	(2) the wealth per student that generates the amount
119	119	of maintenance and operations tax revenue per weighted student per

135	135	operations tax effort exceeds the rate equal to the product of the
136	136	state compression percentage, as determined under Section 42.2516,
137	137	multiplied by the maintenance and operations tax rate adopted by
138	138	the district for the 2005 tax year.
139	139	SECTION 7. Section 41.099(a), Education Code, is amended to
140	140	read as follows:
141	141	(a) Sections [41.002(e),] 41.094 and [,] 41.097[, and
142	142	41.098] apply only to a district that:
143	143	(1) executes an agreement to purchase all attendance
144	144	credits necessary to reduce the district's wealth per student to
145	145	the equalized wealth level;
146	146	(2) executes an agreement to purchase attendance
147	147	credits and an agreement under Subchapter E to contract for the
148	148	education of nonresident students who transfer to and are educated
149	149	in the district but who are not charged tuition; or
150	150	(3) executes an agreement under Subchapter E to
151	151	contract for the education of nonresident students:
152	152	(A) to an extent that does not provide more than
153	153	10 percent of the reduction in wealth per student required for the
154	154	district to achieve a wealth per student that is equal to or less
155	155	than the equalized wealth level; and
156	156	(B) under which all revenue paid by the district
157	157	to other districts, in excess of the reduction in state aid that
158	158	results from counting the weighted average daily attendance of the
159	159	students served in the contracting district, is required to be used
160	160	for funding a consortium of at least three districts in a county
161	161	with a population of less than 40,000 that is formed to support a
162	162	technology initiative.
163	163	SECTION 8. Section 41.121, Education Code, is amended to
164	164	read as follows:
165	165	Sec. 41.121. AGREEMENT. The board of trustees of a district
166	166	with a wealth per student that exceeds the equalized wealth level
167	167	may execute an agreement to educate the students of another
168	168	district in a number that, when the weighted average daily
169	169	attendance of the students served is added to the weighted average
170	170	daily attendance of the contracting district, is sufficient, in
171	171	combination with any other actions taken under this chapter, to
172	172	reduce the district's wealth per student to a level that is equal to
173	173	or less than the equalized wealth level. The agreement is not
174	174	effective unless the commissioner certifies that the transfer of
175	175	weighted average daily attendance will not result in any of the
176	176	contracting districts' wealth per student being greater than the
177	177	equalized wealth level and that the agreement requires an
178	178	expenditure per student in weighted average daily attendance that
179	179	is at least equal to the amount per student in weighted average
180	180	daily attendance required under Section 41.093[, unless it is
181	181	determined by the commissioner that a quality educational program
182	182	can be delivered at a lesser amount. The commissioner may approve a
183	183	special financial arrangement between districts if that
184	184	arrangement serves the best educational interests of the state].
185	185	SECTION 9. Section 42.2516, Education Code, is amended by
186	186	amending Subsections (d), (e), and (f) and adding Subsections
187	187	(a-2), (a-3), (a-4), (b-3), (b-4), (b-5), (b-6), and (b-7) to read
188	188	as follows:
189	189	(a-2) If, for the 2010-2011 school year or any subsequent
190	190	school year, the total amount of state and local revenue per student
191	191	in weighted average daily attendance for the maintenance and
192	192	operations of the district to which the district would be entitled
193	193	under this chapter or Chapter 41 exceeds the sum of $200 and the
194	194	amount of state and local revenue per student in weighted average
195	195	daily attendance for the maintenance and operations of the district
196	196	available to the district for the preceding school year, the
197	197	commissioner shall require the district, notwithstanding
198	198	Subsection (a) or any other law, to compress the district's
199	199	maintenance and operations tax rate as necessary to reduce the
200	200	district's available revenue to the lesser amount.
201	201	(a-3) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the
202	202	amount of compression the commissioner may require under Subsection
203	203	(a-2) does not affect the state compression percentage under
204	204	Subsection (a). If the voters of a district required by the
205	205	commissioner to compress the district's maintenance and operations
206	206	tax rate under Subsection (a-2) have authorized a maintenance and
207	207	operations tax rate that is higher than the required compressed
208	208	rate, the district, notwithstanding Section 26.08, Tax Code, or any
209	209	other law, is not required in a subsequent year to obtain additional
210	210	voter authorization to impose a rate that does not exceed the
211	211	previously authorized rate.
212	212	(a-4) The amount of revenue to which a school district is
213	213	entitled because of the technology allotment under Section 32.005,
214	214	the transportation allotment under Section 42.155, and the new
215	215	instructional facility allotment under Section 42.158 is not
216	216	included in making a determination under Subsection (a-2).
217	217	(b-3) Subject to Subsections (b-4), (b-7), (e), (f-1), and
218	218	(g), but notwithstanding any other provision of this title, a
219	219	school district is entitled to state revenue necessary to provide
220	220	the district with the sum of:
221	221	(1) the amount of state and local revenue per student
222	222	in weighted average daily attendance for the maintenance and
223	223	operations of the district available to the district for the
224	224	2008-2009 school year;
225	225	(2) the amount to which the district is entitled under
226	226	Section 42.155 for the current school year;
227	227	(3) the amount to which the district is entitled under
228	228	Section 42.158 for the current school year; and
229	229	(4) an amount equal to the product of:
230	230	(A) for the 2009-2010 school year, $75 multiplied
231	231	by the number of students in weighted average daily attendance in
232	232	the district; or
233	233	(B) for each subsequent school year, $175
234	234	multiplied by the number of students in weighted average daily
235	235	attendance in the district.
236	236	(b-4) For each school year, the commissioner shall
237	237	calculate for each school district in accordance with Subsection
238	238	(b-5) the additional maintenance and operations tax effort, in
239	239	excess of the district's maintenance and operations tax rate for
240	240	the 2008 tax year, that is needed to entitle the district to the
241	241	amount of increased revenue described by Subsection (b-3)(4). If a
242	242	district's maintenance and operations tax rate is less than $1 on
243	243	the $100 valuation of taxable property and does not equal at least
244	244	the sum of the district's maintenance and operations tax rate for
245	245	the 2008 tax year and the needed additional tax effort calculated by
246	246	the commissioner, the amount of increased revenue to which the
247	247	district is entitled under Subsection (b-3)(4) is adjusted by
248	248	applying the ratio of the amount by which the district's
249	249	maintenance and operations tax rate exceeds the district's
250	250	maintenance and operations tax rate for the 2008 tax year divided by
251	251	the needed additional tax effort calculated by the commissioner.
252	252	(b-5) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the
253	253	additional school district maintenance and operations tax effort
254	254	described by Subsection (b-4) is the difference between the tax
255	255	rate resulting from the product of the maximum maintenance and
256	256	operations tax rate permitted for the 2005 tax year under Section
257	257	45.003 and the state compression percentage under Subsection (a),
258	258	minus the district's tax rate described by Section 42.302(a-1)(1).
259	259	The tax effort described in Subsection (b-4) is subject to all rules
260	260	and entitled to the same guaranteed level of state and local funds
261	261	per weighted student per cent of tax effort as tax effort described
262	262	by Section 42.302(a-1)(1).
263	263	(b-6) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the
264	264	increased revenue described by Subsection (b-3)(4) is not included
265	265	in the determination of the number of students in weighted average
266	266	daily attendance under Section 42.302(a).
267	267	(b-7) The amount of revenue to which a district is entitled
268	268	under Subsection (b-3) includes funds sufficient to ensure the
269	269	maintenance of:
270	270	(1) the professional staff salary allotment provided
271	271	by Subsection (b)(2) and the high school allotment provided by
272	272	Subsection (b)(3) as those sections existed on January 1, 2009;
273	273	(2) the staff salary allotment provided by Section
274	274	42.2513 as that section existed on January 1, 2009;
275	275	(3) funding for school district employees who
276	276	participate in a group health coverage plan provided by or through
277	277	the district;
278	278	(4) the $110 per weighted student allocation
279	279	authorized in Rider 82, page III-23, Chapter 1330 (H.B. 1), Acts of
280	280	the 78th Legislature, Regular Session, 2003 (the General
281	281	Appropriations Act); and
282	282	(5) the $23.63 per weighted student allocation
283	283	authorized in Rider 86, page III-23, Chapter 1428 (H.B. 1), Acts of
284	284	the 80th Legislature, Regular Session, 2007 (the General
285	285	Appropriations Act).
286	286	(d) If [, for the 2006-2007 or a subsequent school year,] a
287	287	school district enters into an agreement under Subchapter E,
288	288	Chapter 41, the commissioner shall reduce the amount of state
289	289	revenue to which the district is entitled under Subsection (b-3)
290	290	[(b)] for that school year by an amount equal to any additional
291	291	revenue for that school year that the district receives and retains
292	292	as a result of that agreement, which is the amount by which the
293	293	total maintenance and operations revenue available to the district
294	294	exceeds the total maintenance and operations revenue that would
295	295	have been available to the district if the district had not entered
296	296	into the agreement and had imposed a maintenance and operations tax
297	297	at the maximum rate permitted under Section 45.003(d), less any
298	298	amount the district pays to another entity under the agreement.
299	299	(e) The amount of revenue to which a school district is
300	300	entitled because of the technology allotment under Section 32.005,
301	301	the transportation allotment under Section 42.155, and the new
302	302	instructional facility allotment under Section 42.158 and the
303	303	amount of state and local revenue resulting from a tax rate
304	304	described by Section 42.302(a-1)(2) or (3) are [is] not included in
305	305	making a determination under Subsection (b-3)(1) [(b)(1)].
306	306	(f) For purposes of determining the amount of revenue to
307	307	which a school district is entitled under this section, the
308	308	commissioner shall use the average tax collection rate for the
309	309	district for the 2006, 2007, and 2008 [2003, 2004, and 2005] tax
310	310	years.
311	311	SECTION 10. Section 42.260(a), Education Code, is amended
312	312	to read as follows:
313	313	(a) In this section, "participating charter school" means
314	314	an open-enrollment charter school that participates in the uniform
315	315	group coverage program established under Chapter 1579, Insurance
316	316	Code [has the meaning assigned by Section 42.2514].
317	317	SECTION 11. Effective September 1, 2009, Section
318	318	42.302(a-1), Education Code, is amended to read as follows:
319	319	(a-1) In this section, "wealth per student" has the meaning
320	320	assigned by Section 41.001. For purposes of Subsection (a), the
321	321	dollar amount guaranteed level of state and local funds per
322	322	weighted student per cent of tax effort ("GL") for a school district
323	323	is:
324	324	(1) the greater of 90 percent of the amount of district
325	325	tax revenue per weighted student per cent of tax effort that would
326	326	be available to the Austin Independent School District [a district
327	327	at the 88th percentile in wealth per student], as determined by the
328	328	commissioner in cooperation with the Legislative Budget Board, or
329	329	the amount of district tax revenue per weighted student per cent of
330	330	tax effort used for purposes of this subdivision in the preceding
331	331	school year, for the district's maintenance and operations tax
332	332	effort equal to or less than the rate equal to the product of the
333	333	state compression percentage, as determined under Section 42.2516,
334	334	multiplied by the maintenance and operations tax rate adopted by
335	335	the district for the 2005 tax year;
336	336	(2) the greater of the amount of district tax revenue
337	337	per weighted student per cent of tax effort that would be available
338	338	to the Austin Independent School District, as determined by the
339	339	commissioner in cooperation with the Legislative Budget Board, if
340	340	the reduction of the limitation on tax increases as provided by
341	341	Section 11.26(a-1), (a-2), or (a-3), Tax Code, did not apply, or the
342	342	amount of district tax revenue per weighted student per cent of tax
343	343	effort used for purposes of this subdivision in the preceding
344	344	school year, for the first six cents by which the district's
345	345	maintenance and operations tax rate exceeds the rate equal to the
346	346	product of the state compression percentage, as determined under
347	347	Section 42.2516 [and notwithstanding the limitation on district
