The bill, S.B. No. 1552, amends Section 48.111(a) of the Education Code regarding the fast growth allotment under the public school finance system in Texas. It establishes that a school district is entitled to an annual allotment based on the greater of two calculations: the difference in student enrollment over a six-year period, minus 250, or the average annual growth in student enrollment over the preceding three years, provided that this growth places the district in the top quartile of enrollment growth statewide.

The new language specifies that the allotment will be determined by either of these two metrics, enhancing the criteria for districts experiencing significant growth. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
