HB 1703 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the use of average enrollment for purposes of the public school finance system.

HB 1703 changes how Texas school districts calculate enrollment for state funding by replacing "average enrollment" with "daily attendance" in the finance system. It requires districts to use actual daily attendance numbers instead of enrollment counts to determine funding levels. Districts with a 2% or greater enrollment decline due to a military base closure receive full funding based on the previous year's attendance, while others get funding capped at 98% of the prior year's level. The bill also allows adjustments for districts with high numbers of migratory students or those affected by disasters like floods, ensuring funding accounts for specific enrollment disruptions.
