SUMMARY
Synopsis of Amendment
House Education Committee amendment to House
Bill 269 reduces the appropriation and changes the original intent of the bill.
The amendment changes the use of the appropriation from operations and programs
to professional development.
Synopsis of Bill
House Bill 269 appropriates $100.0 to PED for
operations and programs in the Quemando Independent School District (QISD).
Significant Issues
According to PED, small school districts have
experienced declines in student membership. As a result, they receive a lower
amount of funding from the public school funding formula. This last fiscal
year, QISA needed to request supplemental emergency funding from the
department.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
House Bill 269 appropriates $100.0 from the
general fund and is recurring.
ADMINISTRATIVE IMPLICATIONS
The administrative impact to PED is minimal.
OTHER SUBSTANTIVE ISSUES
If House Bill 269 is not passed, the district
could apply for emergency supplemental funding which is appropriated by the
Legislature within
public school support .
