The bill, H.B. No. 3342, proposes an amendment to the Education Code regarding the adjustment of average daily attendance (ADA) for school districts facing unsafe conditions. It introduces a new provision, Subsection (d-1), which mandates that the commissioner of education must adjust the ADA for any school district that experiences an unforeseen event leading to unsafe conditions at a campus. This includes situations such as a power outage lasting longer than one hour.

The bill aims to ensure that school districts are not penalized in their attendance calculations due to circumstances beyond their control that compromise safety. If enacted, this adjustment will take effect on September 1, 2025.
