Relating to the small and mid-sized district allotment under the public school finance system.
HB 3082 changes how Texas calculates state funding for small and mid-sized public school districts under the public school finance system. It establishes specific formulas to determine annual per-student allotments based on a district's average daily attendance (ADA), with different rules for districts under 1,600 students, those under 5,000 students offering K-12 programs, and very small districts (under 300 students) in counties with only one school district. Districts can choose the formula that provides the highest funding, using adjustments tied to their ADA relative to thresholds. This bill directly affects rural and small-town school districts across Texas and takes effect September 1, 2025.
