CHAPTER 33. STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES, AND GUIDELINES OF THE TEXAS PERMANENT SCHOOL FUND
The State Board of Education (SBOE) proposes an amendment to §33.5, concerning the code of ethics policy for managing and investing the Texas Permanent School Fund (PSF). The section establishes procedures and requirements for a code of ethics policy relating to the Texas PSF. The proposed amendment would address reporting campaign contributions and business or financial transactions.
The proposed amendment would include the addition of language in new subsection (m) relating to disclosure requirements for political campaign contributions. New subsection (m) would apply to PSF service providers and any person or firm responding to a request for proposals relating to the management and investment of the PSF. Subsequent subsections would be re-lettered accordingly and a technical edit would be made in re-lettered subsection (s) to include a heading.
In addition, language would be added in new subsection (e)(9) requiring an SBOE member to disclose any business or financial transaction greater than $50 in value with a PSF service provider. Proposed language in subsection (e)(9) would also specify that the first report filed after the amendment would take effect shall cover the preceding one-year period.
The new language in subsections (m) and (e)(9) includes an exemption from the provision in subsection (s) that new reports need only concern events after the effective date of an amendment.
In accordance with Texas Education Code, §43.0031(c), the SBOE will submit a copy of the proposed amendment to 19 TAC §33.5 to the Texas Ethics Commission and the state auditor for review and comment. The SBOE will consider any comments from the commission or state auditor prior to final adoption.
Holland Timmins, Executive Administrator and Chief Investment Officer of the Texas Permanent School Fund, has determined that for the first five-year period the amendment is in effect there will be no fiscal implications for state or local government as a result of enforcing or administering the amendment.
Mr. Timmins has determined that for each year of the first five years the amendment is in effect the public benefit anticipated as a result of enforcing the amendment would be establishment of additional provisions supporting the management and investment of the PSF. The distribution of the PSF will flow to the school districts and reduce the tax burden to the public and the state of Texas. There is no anticipated economic cost to persons who are required to comply with the proposed amendment. In addition, there is no direct adverse economic impact for small businesses and microbusinesses; therefore, no regulatory flexibility analysis, specified in Texas Government Code, §2006.002, is required.
Comments on the proposal may be submitted to Cristina De La Fuente-Valadez, Policy Coordination Division, Texas Education Agency, 1701 North Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas 78701, (512) 475-1497. Comments may also be submitted electronically to rules@tea.state.tx.us or faxed to (512) 463-0028. A request for a public hearing on the proposed amendment submitted under the Administrative Procedure Act must be received by the commissioner of education not more than 15 calendar days after notice of the proposal has been published in the Texas Register.
The amendment is proposed under the Texas Education Code, §43.0031, which authorizes the State Board of Education to adopt and enforce an ethics policy that provides standards of conduct relating to the management and investment of the PSF, and the Texas Constitution, Article VII, §5(f).
The amendment implements the Texas Education Code, §43.0031, and the Texas Constitution, Article VII, §5(f).

SUBCHAPTER A. OPEN-ENROLLMENT CHARTER SCHOOLS
The State Board of Education (SBOE) proposes amendments to §100.1 and §100.101, concerning open-enrollment charter schools. Section 100.1 specifies provisions relating to application and selection procedures and criteria. Section 100.101 governs the procedure for collecting information for the annual report on open-enrollment charter school governance. The proposed amendments would reflect a statutory correction and modify the annual governance reporting requirements.
The amendment to 19 TAC §100.1, Application and Selection Procedures and Criteria, is proposed in subsection (k) to update a statutory reference. The amendment proposed to 19 TAC §100.101, Annual Report on Open-Enrollment Charter Governance, would modify the annual governance reporting requirements for collecting identifying information about family members serving together on boards or as administrators. The proposed amendment to 19 TAC §100.101 does not require an additional report, only the inclusion of one new criterion on the existing governance reporting form.
Adrain Johnson, Associate Commissioner for Accreditation, has determined that for the first five-year period the amendments are in effect there will be no fiscal implications for state or local government as a result of enforcing or administering the amendments.
Dr. Johnson has determined that for each year of the first five years the amendments are in effect the public benefit anticipated as a result of enforcing the amendments would be disclosure of board and/or administrator relationships. Rules in 19 TAC Chapter 100, Subchapter A, help to define the processes by which charter schools provide new avenues for local restructuring, flexibility, innovation, and choices for parents and students. There is no anticipated economic cost to persons who are required to comply with the proposed amendments. In addition, there is no direct adverse economic impact for small businesses and microbusinesses; therefore, no regulatory flexibility analysis, specified in Texas Government Code, §2006.002, is required.
Comments on the proposal may be submitted to Cristina De La Fuente-Valadez, Policy Coordination Division, Texas Education Agency, 1701 North Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas 78701, (512) 475-1497. Comments may also be submitted electronically to rules@tea.state.tx.us or faxed to (512) 463-0028. A request for a public hearing on the proposed amendments submitted under the Administrative Procedure Act must be received by the commissioner of education not more than 15 calendar days after notice of the proposal has been published in the Texas Register.
The amendments are proposed under the Texas Education Code, §§7.102(c)(9), 12.101, 12.110, 12.111, and 12.119, which authorizes the State Board of Education to: adopt an application form and a procedure that must be used to apply for a charter for an open-enrollment charter school and criteria to use in selecting a program for which to grant a charter; grant a charter on the application of an eligible entity for an open-enrollment charter school; and establish the procedure for collecting information for the annual report on open-enrollment charter school governance, including the specification and description of certain powers and duties.
The amendments implement the Texas Education Code, §§7.102(c)(9), 12.101, 12.110, 12.111, and 12.119.
§100.1.Application and Selection Procedures and Criteria.

SUBCHAPTER D. UNIFORM BANK BID OR REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL AND DEPOSITORY CONTRACT
The State Board of Education (SBOE) proposes amendments to §109.51 and §109.52, concerning uniform depository bank bid and contract forms. Section 109.51 establishes the requirement that each school district submit a blank uniform bid form to each bank located in the district and, if desired, to other banks interested in acting as depository for all funds. The section includes the bid form prescribed by the SBOE. Section 109.52 establishes the requirement that each school district select a bank as a school depository and enter into a depository contract with the bank. A school district may select and contract with more than one bank. The section includes the depository contract form with the content prescribed by the SBOE. The proposed amendments would update the current rules to reflect statutory changes resulting from House Bill (HB) 2411, 80th Texas Legislature, 2007.
HB 2411, 80th Texas Legislature, 2007, amended the Texas Education Code, §45.206, requiring school districts to choose whether to select a depository through a competitive bidding process or through a request for proposal process. The decision to use a request for proposal process is entirely voluntary. Current SBOE rule provides a uniform bid blank form and uniform depository contract form for selecting a depository by competitive bidding only.
In accordance with the statutory change, the proposed amendments to 19 TAC Chapter 109, Subchapter D, would revise the methods a district may choose to select a depository to include a request for proposal process. The required forms adopted in rule would also be updated to include current depository services reflective of technological advances since the forms were last updated. The updated forms were developed in conjunction with stakeholder meetings with bankers and school district personnel. The proposed amendments to 19 TAC Chapter 109, Subchapter D, would also change the subchapter title to read, "Uniform Bank Bid or Request for Proposal and Depository Contract." Specifically, the proposed amendments would include the following.
The proposed amendment to 19 TAC §109.51 includes new language throughout to allow each school district to choose whether to select a depository through a competitive bidding process or through a request for proposal process. The proposed amendment would also include an updated uniform bid blank form (Figure: 19 TAC §109.51(c)) and a new uniform proposal blank form (Figure: 19 TAC §109.51(d)). The title of 19 TAC §109.51 and the uniform bid blank form would also be updated.
The proposed amendment to 19 TAC §109.52 includes an updated uniform depository contract form (Figure: 19 TAC §109.52(b)). Minor technical changes to language in the section would be proposed but no changes would be proposed to the uniform surety bond form (Figure: 19 TAC §109.52(d)).
Not later than the 60th day before the date a school district's current depository contract expires, the district shall choose whether to select a depository through a competitive bidding process or through a request for proposal process. The school district would document its choice of method to select a depository.
Adrain Johnson, Associate Commissioner for Accreditation, has determined that for the first five-year period the amendments are in effect there will be no fiscal implications for state or local government as a result of enforcing or administering the amendments.
Dr. Johnson has determined that for each year of the first five years the amendments are in effect the public benefit anticipated as a result of enforcing the amendments would be providing school districts the flexibility to determine the method by which they select the depository. School districts that choose to select a depository through a request for proposal process would have more freedom to negotiate depository services. There is no anticipated economic cost to persons who are required to comply with the proposed amendments. In addition, there is no direct adverse economic impact for small businesses and microbusinesses; therefore, no regulatory flexibility analysis, specified in Texas Government Code, §2006.002, is required.
Comments on the proposal may be submitted to Cristina De La Fuente-Valadez, Policy Coordination Division, Texas Education Agency, 1701 North Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas 78701, (512) 475-1497. Comments may also be submitted electronically to rules@tea.state.tx.us or faxed to (512) 463-0028. A request for a public hearing on the proposed amendments submitted under the Administrative Procedure Act must be received by the commissioner of education not more than 15 calendar days after notice of the proposal has been published in the Texas Register.
The amendments are proposed under the Texas Education Code, §§7.102(c)(34), 45.206, and 45.208, which authorizes the State Board of Education to prescribe a uniform bid blank form for a school district to use in selecting a depository bank and to prescribe a uniform depository contract form.
The amendments implement the Texas Education Code, §§7.102(c)(34), 45.206, and 45.208.
§109.51.Uniform Depository Bank Bid or Proposal Form.
(a) Each school district shall choose whether to select a depository through a competitive bidding process or through a request for proposal process at least 60 days before the termination of the current depository contract.
(b) [(a)] Each school district
is to use a uniform bid or proposal blank form as specified
in Texas Education Code, §45.206. A school district may add other
terms to the uniform bid or proposal blank form based on
additional requirements. The selected [This]
form must be mailed to each bank located in the school district at
least 30 days before the termination of the current depository contract.
The selected [This] form must be filed with the Texas
Education Agency in accordance with filing instructions specified
in the form.
(c) [(b)] The uniform bid blank
form is provided in this subsection entitled "Bid Form for [
Acting as] Depository Services [
for All Funds]."
