H.B. No. 3099 amends Section 12.263(b) of the Education Code to clarify the criteria for determining average daily attendance in adult education programs operated under a charter. The bill specifies that a student is considered to have a 100 percent attendance rate if they are enrolled for a certain percentage of the school year. The amendments replace previous attendance thresholds with new ones: students must be enrolled for at least 75 percent of the school year to be counted for all instructional days, at least 50 percent but less than 75 percent for three-quarters of the days, at least 25 percent but less than 50 percent for half of the days, and at least 10 percent but less than 25 percent for a quarter of the days.

The changes aim to provide a more precise framework for attendance calculations, ensuring that funding for adult high school charter programs is aligned with student engagement levels. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
