relating to certain information required to be posted by a school

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Subchapter A, Chapter 44, Education Code, is
amended by adding Section 44.012 to read as follows:
Sec. 44.012. POSTING ON WEBSITE OF INFORMATION REGARDING
SOURCES AND USES OF MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS REVENUE. (a) This
subsection applies only to a school district that has a wealth per
student that exceeds the amount specified by Section 41.002(a)(1)
and that, for the school year beginning in the current tax year, has
entered into an agreement with the commissioner to purchase average
daily attendance credits as provided by Subchapter D, Chapter 41,
in an amount sufficient, in combination with any other actions
taken under that chapter, to reduce the school district's wealth
per student to a level that is equal to or less than the equalized
wealth level as determined by the commissioner under that chapter.
If the school district maintains a generally accessible Internet
website, the school district shall post on the website:
(1) the percentage of the taxes for maintenance and
operations imposed by the school district for the current tax year
that the school district is required to pay under the agreement for
the school year beginning in the current tax year to purchase
average daily attendance credits; and

that the school district is not required to pay under the agreement
for the school year beginning in the current tax year to purchase
average daily attendance credits.
(b) This subsection applies only to a school district to
which Subsection (a) does not apply. If the school district
maintains a generally accessible Internet website, the school
district shall post on the website:
(1) the percentage of the maintenance and operations
revenue of the school district for the school year beginning in the
current tax year that is derived from taxes for maintenance and
operations imposed by the school district for the current tax year;

revenue of the school district for the school year beginning in the
preceding tax year that was derived from taxes for maintenance and
operations imposed by the school district for the preceding tax
year;
