The bill amends Section 48.109(c) of the Education Code regarding the eligibility for the gifted and talented student allotment under the Foundation School Program. The key change is that it increases the percentage of a district's students in average daily attendance who are eligible for funding from a maximum of five percent to a maximum of ten percent.
This adjustment aims to expand access to funding for gifted and talented programs, allowing more students to benefit from these educational resources. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
Statutes affected: Introduced: Education Code 48.109 (Education Code 48)
