The bill amends Section 12.263(b) of the Education Code to update the criteria for determining average daily attendance in adult education programs operated under a charter. The changes specify that a student is considered to have a 100 percent attendance rate based on their enrollment percentage throughout the school year. Specifically, the bill replaces the previous attendance thresholds with new ones: students enrolled for at least 75 percent of the school year will be counted for all instructional days, those enrolled for at least 50 percent but less than 75 percent will be counted for three-quarters of the days, those enrolled for at least 25 percent but less than 50 percent will be counted for half of the days, and those enrolled for at least 10 percent but less than 25 percent will be counted for a quarter of the days.

This legislation aims to provide a clearer framework for attendance calculations in adult high school charter programs, potentially impacting funding and resource allocation for these educational institutions. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
