 SECTION 7.  Section 42.302(a), Education Code, is amended to
 read as follows:
 (a)  Each school district is guaranteed a specified amount
 per weighted student in state and local funds for each cent of tax
 effort over that required for the district's local fund assignment
 up to the maximum level specified in this subchapter. The amount of
 state support, subject only to the maximum amount under Section
 42.303, is determined by the formula:
 GYA = (GL X WADA X DTR X 100) - LR
 where:
 "GYA" is the guaranteed yield amount of state funds to be
 allocated to the district;
 "GL" is the dollar amount guaranteed level of state and local
 funds per weighted student per cent of tax effort, which is an
 amount described by Subsection (a-1) or a greater amount for any
 year provided by appropriation;
 "WADA" is the number of students in weighted average daily
 attendance, which is calculated by dividing the sum of the school
 district's allotments under Subchapters B and C, less any allotment
 to the district for transportation, any additional funding
 [allotment] under Section 42.158, [or] 42.160, 42.169, 42.170, or
 42.171 and 50 percent of the adjustment under Section 42.102, by
 the basic allotment for the applicable year;
 "DTR" is the district enrichment tax rate of the school
 district, which is determined by subtracting the amounts specified
 by Subsection (b) from the total amount of maintenance and
 operations taxes collected by the school district for the
 applicable school year and dividing the difference by the quotient
 of the district's taxable value of property as determined under
 Subchapter M, Chapter 403, Government Code, or, if applicable,
 under Section 42.2521, divided by 100; and
 "LR" is the local revenue, which is determined by multiplying
 "DTR" by the quotient of the district's taxable value of property as
 determined under Subchapter M, Chapter 403, Government Code, or, if
 applicable, under Section 42.2521, divided by 100.
 SECTION 8.  Sections 825.405(a), (b), (e), and (f),
 Government Code, are amended to read as follows:
 (a)  An employing school district or an open-enrollment
 charter school, as applicable, shall pay the state's contribution
 on the portion of a member's salary that exceeds the statutory
 minimum salary for [For] members:
 (1)  entitled to the minimum salary for certain school
 personnel under Section 21.402, Education Code;
 (2)  [, and for members] who would have been entitled to
 the minimum salary for certain school personnel under former
 Section 16.056, Education Code, as that section existed on January
 1, 1995; and
 (3)  who would be entitled to the minimum salary for
 certain school personnel under Section 21.402, Education Code, if
 the member was employed by a school district subject to that section
 instead of being employed by:
 (A)  an open-enrollment charter school; or
 (B)  a school district that has adopted a local
 innovation plan under Chapter 12A, Education Code, that exempts the
 district's employees from the minimum salary schedule under that
 section[, the employing district shall pay the state's contribution
 on the portion of the member's salary that exceeds the statutory
 minimum salary].
 (b)  For purposes of this section,[:
 [(1)]  the statutory minimum salary for a member
 described by:
 (1)  Subsection (a)(1) [certain school personnel under
 Section 21.402, Education Code,] is the salary provided by Section
