BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Subchapter A, Chapter 42, Education Code, is | ||
amended by adding Section 42.009 to read as follows: | ||
Sec. 42.009. ADJUSTMENT TO ACHIEVE EQUAL DISTRIBUTION OF | ||
REVENUE. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, | ||
the commissioner shall make adjustments to the amounts due to a | ||
school district under this chapter or amounts required for a | ||
district to comply with Chapter 41 as necessary to ensure that each | ||
district receives an amount of state and local maintenance and | ||
operations revenue per student in weighted average daily attendance | ||
equal to the amount determined under Subsection (b). | ||
(b) The commissioner shall identify the amount of state and | ||
local maintenance and operations revenue per student in weighted | ||
