Amend CSHB 3646 (Senate committee printing) by striking
Section 42.160 (on page 7, lines 13 through 29) and substituting the
following:
Sec. 42.160. HIGH SCHOOL ALLOTMENT. (a) A school district
is entitled to an annual allotment in an amount determined by the
commissioner under Subsection (a-1) for each student in weighted
average daily attendance in grades 9 through 12 in the district.
For purposes of this subsection, the number of students in weighted
average daily attendance is calculated by multiplying the number of
students in average daily attendance in grades 9 through 12 in the
district by the ratio for the district of the number of students in
weighted average daily attendance to the number of students in
average daily attendance.
(a-1) The commissioner shall determine the amount of the
allotment provided under Subsection (a) so that the total state
cost of funding the allotment equals the total state cost of funding
the allotment that would have resulted if the allotment were
provided in the amount of $275 for each student in average daily
attendance in grades 9 through 12 in the district.
(b) School district that is required to take action under
Chapter 41 to reduce its wealth per student to the equalized wealth
level is entitled to a credit, in the amount of the allotment to
which the district is entitled under this section, against the
total amount required under Section 41.093 for the district to
purchase attendance credits. A school district that is otherwise
ineligible for state aid under this chapter is entitled to receive
allotments under this section.
