BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 42.105, Education Code, as effective | ||

Sec. 42.105. SPARSITY ADJUSTMENT. (a) Notwithstanding | ||
Sections 42.101, 42.102, and 42.103, a school district that has | ||
fewer than 130 students in average daily attendance shall be | ||
provided an adjusted basic allotment on the basis of 130 students in | ||
average daily attendance if it offers a kindergarten through grade | ||
12 program and has preceding or current year's average daily | ||
attendance of at least 90 students or is 30 miles or more by bus | ||
route from the nearest high school district. A district offering a | ||
kindergarten through grade 8 program whose preceding or current | ||
year's average daily attendance was at least 50 students or which is | ||
30 miles or more by bus route from the nearest high school district | ||
shall be provided an adjusted basic allotment on the basis of 75 | ||
students in average daily attendance. An average daily attendance | ||
of 60 students shall be the basis of providing the adjusted basic | ||
allotment if a district offers a kindergarten through grade 6 | ||
program and has preceding or current year's average daily | ||
attendance of at least 40 students or is 30 miles or more by bus | ||
route from the nearest high school district. | ||
(b) This subsection applies only to a school district that | ||
serves both students residing in this state and students residing | ||

in-state tuition rates at institutions of higher education in | ||
either state regardless of the state in which the students reside. | ||
Notwithstanding Subsection (a) or Sections 42.101, 42.102, and | ||
42.103, a school district to which this subsection applies that has | ||
fewer than 130 students in average daily attendance shall be | ||
provided an adjusted basic allotment on the basis of 130 students in | ||
average daily attendance if it offers a kindergarten through grade | ||
four program and has preceding or current year's average daily | ||
attendance of at least 75 students or is 10 miles or more by bus | ||
route from the nearest high school district in this state. | ||
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2015. |
