Sec. 41.124. TRANSFERS. (a) The board of trustees of a school district with a wealth per student that exceeds the equalized wealth level may reduce the district's wealth per student by serving nonresident students who transfer to the district and are educated by the district but who are not charged tuition. A district that exercises the option under this subsection is not required to execute an agreement with the school district in which a transferring student resides and must certify to the commissioner that the district has not charged or received tuition for the transferring students.
(b) A school district with a wealth per student that exceeds the equalized wealth level that pays tuition to another school district for the education of students that reside in the district may apply the amount of tuition paid toward the cost of the option chosen by the district to reduce its wealth per student. The amount applied under this subsection may not exceed the amount determined under Section 41.093 as the cost of an attendance credit for the district. The commissioner may require any reports necessary to document the tuition payments.
(c) A school district that receives tuition for a student from a school district with a wealth per student that exceeds the equalized wealth level may not claim attendance for that student for purposes of Chapters 42 and 46 and the instructional materials allotment under Section 31.0211.
