Adopted Rule Review

Texas Education Agency

Title 19, Part 2

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) adopts the review of 19 TAC Chapter 105, Foundation School Program, Subchapter AA, Commissioner's Rules Concerning Optional Extended Year Program; Subchapter BB, Commissioner's Rules Concerning State Aid Entitlements; and Subchapter CC, Commissioner's Rules Concerning Severance Payments, pursuant to the Texas Government Code, §2001.039. The TEA proposed the review of 19 TAC Chapter 105 in the December 16, 2005, issue of the Texas Register (30 TexReg 8453).

The TEA finds that the reasons for adopting 19 TAC Chapter 105, Subchapters AA and CC, continue to exist. Changes are needed in Subchapter AA to update the text of the rule to reflect existing statute and the related rider and agency administration of the program. The TEA plans to propose amendments to Subchapter AA at a future date. No changes are necessary to rules in Subchapter CC. The TEA is proposing no amendments to these rules at this time.

Relating to 19 TAC Chapter 105, Subchapter BB, the TEA finds the following. The reasons do not exist for adopting §105.1011, Distribution of Foundation School Fund, and §105.1014, State Reimbursement for Electrical Utility Restructuring. Section 105.1011 has expired and the statutory authority for §105.1014 was repealed. The TEA plans to propose the repeals of §105.1011 and §105.1014 in the near future. The reasons for adopting §105.1012, Additional State Aid for Professional Staff Salaries, continue to exist. The TEA is proposing no amendment to this rule at this time.

The TEA received no comments related to the rule review of 19 TAC Chapter 105, Subchapters AA-CC.

This concludes the review of 19 TAC Chapter 105.
