Hon. J. W. Edgar Opinion No. C-224
Commissioner of Education
Texas Education Agency Re: Incentive aid payments to
Austin, Texas resulting consolidated in-
dependent school districts
under Article 2815-4 of
Vernon's Civil Statutes and
Dear Dr. Edgar: related questions.
We are in receipt of your request for opinion wherein
you ask several questions concerning the incentive aid payments
to be given independent school districts created through con-
solidatiqn. The original statute was codified as Article 2815-3
of Vernon's Civil Statutes; however, Article 2815-4, a 1963 en-
actment, is the most recent and will be cited herein as the
incentive aid payment statute. Article 2815-4 represents a re-
enactment of Article 2815-3 except for the change in Section 1B
to reduce the average daily attendance requirement from one thou-
sand to seven hundred and fifty. We shall proceed to answer your
questions in order of their submission.
Situation I
"Recently a County School Board (Orange) has
annexed a common school district (Bancroft) to an
adjoining independent school district (West Orange)
under Article 2922a. The resulting enlarged dis-
trict (West Orange) is an independent school dis-
trict (Art. 2922b) has in excess of 1000 scholastics
in A.D.A. and has made timely application for incen-
tive aid payments.
"The independent school district before the an-
nexation was a budget excess district by some $67,-
000. This means it was not eligible for nor will it
receive Foundation Program payments in the 1963-64
school year. The independent school district as en-
larged by the annexation will still be a budget ex-
cess school district by approximately $36,800 when
the costs of the Foundation Programs in the two dis-
tricts existing prior to the annexation are combined
and compared with total Foundation Program receipts
(local fund assignments and State per capita payments)
of the two districts.
