§ 42.158. NEW INSTRUCTIONAL FACILITY ALLOTMENT. (a) A
school district is entitled to an additional allotment as provided
by this section for operational expenses associated with opening a
new instructional facility.
(b) For the first school year in which students attend a new
instructional facility, a school district is entitled to an
allotment of $250 for each student in average daily attendance at
the facility. For the second school year in which students attend
that instructional facility, a school district is entitled to an
allotment of $250 for each additional student in average daily
attendance at the facility.
(c) For purposes of this section, the number of additional
students in average daily attendance at a facility is the
difference between the number of students in average daily
attendance in the current year at that facility and the number of
students in average daily attendance at that facility in the
preceding year.
(d) The amount appropriated for allotments under this
section may not exceed $25 million in a school year. If the total
amount of allotments to which districts are entitled under this
section for a school year exceeds the amount appropriated for
allotments under this section, the commissioner shall reduce each
district's allotment under this section in the manner provided by
Section 42.253(h).
(e) A 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 allotments 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.
(f) The commissioner may adopt rules necessary to implement
this section.
(g) In this section, "instructional facility" has the
meaning assigned by Section 46.001.
