What This Bill Does
Allows the Texas Education Commissioner to adjust a school district's average daily attendance (ADA) calculation if an unexpected event creates unsafe campus conditions, such as a prolonged power outage lasting over an hour. The adjustment ensures school districts are not financially penalized for circumstances beyond their control that require campus closure or significant disruption. The law will take effect on September 1, 2025, providing school districts with a mechanism to protect their funding during unforeseen safety challenges.
