S.B. No. 233 amends various sections of the Texas Education Code to replace the term "daily attendance" with "enrollment," thereby shifting the focus of funding calculations for school districts from attendance metrics to enrollment figures. This change is intended to provide a more accurate representation of student participation and streamline the funding process. The bill also introduces provisions for the establishment of single-member trustee districts, ensuring they are compact and nearly equal in population, and outlines funding entitlements for charter schools and adult education programs based on average enrollment.

Additionally, the bill revises the funding structure for various educational programs, including dropout recovery schools and career and technology education courses, ensuring that financial support aligns with updated enrollment metrics. It specifies conditions for school districts to receive additional funding based on enrollment figures and introduces adjustments to the basic allotment for districts, reflecting changes in the Consumer Price Index starting in the 2026-2027 school year. Overall, the bill aims to modernize the public school finance system in Texas, promoting equitable funding distribution and enhancing financial support for school districts based on actual student enrollment.
