| TX | Signed into law 06/2003 | P-12 | Currently, charter school contracts stipulate the maximum allowable enrollment of a particular charter school. In compliance with this contract, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) is authorized to recover excess funds when a charter school exceeds the contract enrollment number. However, charter schools receive state funds based on the average daily attendance (ADA) of students. Because average daily attendance is rarely 100 percent, charter schools often enroll enough students to meet a 100 percent ADA based on the contract enrollment number. This increase in ADA corresponds to a charter school enrolling more students than the limit established under the charter contract. H.B. 1202 prohibits the commissioner from garnishing or otherwise recovering funds paid to an open-enrollment charter school for students enrolled in excess of the number authorized by the charter contract.

Specifies that state board in this case must not take action if the school's performance score in the state accountability system has risen by at least 20 points during the four-year period of Recovery School District oversight. School board may also not take action in any subsequent four-year period in which a school continues to be academically unacceptable if the school's performance score has risen at least 20 additional points. Allows parent or guardian of student assigned to school transferred to Recovery School District to exercise option made available by local board to attend another school in the district.
Requires state board, represented by the superintendent of the Recovery School District, to annually submit a report to the House and Senate education committees that must include specified components.

Also grants the RSD rights to use buildings and property otherwise part of the school prior to school transfer to RSD.

Establishes funding mechanism for Recovery School District and schools under its jurisdiction.
Creates "Type 5" classification for charter schools that are transferred to the Recovery School District. Specifies that only students who would have been eligible to enroll in the school prior to its transfer to the Recovery School District may attend, including any student participating in a school choice program, subject to capacity. Requires all proposals for a Type 5 charter school to be made to the state board. Requires consideration of such proposals to be only upon recommendation of the administering agency of the Recovery School District. Specifies that certain provisions of state law regarding charters do not apply to Type 5 charter schools.
