The state distributes funds from the Available School Fundqv to local school districts through the two-tiered program. Tier One of the FSP provides funds to meet the costs of basic education programs that meet state accreditation standards. Tier Two provides schools with equal access to revenue for educational enrichment. Both tiers contain a state and local share, with the latter depending on the property wealth of each district. Under Tier One of FSP, additional funding is made available to school districts for special, vocational, compensatory, bilingual, and gifted and talented programs. In 1993 the state spent close to $7 billion on the public schools. This constituted roughly 48 percent of revenues generated for public schools. The remaining $7.1 billion came from local tax revenues.<br /><br />BIBLIOGRAPHY: Legislative Budget Board, Fiscal Size-up of Texas State Services, 1992-1993 Biennium (Austin, 1993).

The expanded powers and duties include enforcing compulsory school attendance, serving court ordered legal process, making home visits or contacting a parent of a student in violation of the compulsory school requirements, and taking a student into custody with permission of the student's parent or in compliance of a court-ordered legal process. <br /><br /> <br /><br />An offense is committed if the individual is required to attend school under current compulsory school attendance regulations and fails to attend school on seven or more days within a three-month period in the same school year or three or more days within a four-week period. A school district or open-enrollment charter school is required to notify a parent in writing at the beginning of the school year that should a student be absent from school on seven or more days within a three-month period in the same school year or on three or more days within a four-week period the parent is subject to prosecution and the student is subject to prosecution or to referral to a juvenile court if applicable. A school district is required to notify the parent by telephone and writing if the student is absent from school, without an excuse, on three days within a four-week period. The notice is to inform the parent as to the parent's duty to monitor the student's attendance and that the parent is subject to prosecution. Additionally, the notice requires the parent to attend a conference with school officials to discuss absences, to develop a plan for improving the student's school attendance and to review legal consequences for a student's continued unexcused absences. A counselor is to be notified and assess the student's unexcused absences. If a student fails to attend school without an excuse on seven or more days within a three-month period in the same school year, a school district is required to file a complaint against the student or the student's parent or both in accordance with the law, or refer the student to juvenile court indicating a need for supervision.CC Watchdog Authorityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15692025297388841246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30722964.post-78398852552180499382007-02-03T23:50:00.000-08:002007-02-03T23:50:00.000-08:00kenedeno@gmail.comkenedeno@gmail.comCC Watchdog Authorityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15692025297388841246noreply@blogger.com
