Thank you for the rights and liberties that you allow us to enjoy as citizens of this country. Today, as I approach your throne of grace, I pray for the men and women of the Texas House of Representatives. I pray, O God, that you give them great wisdom, discernment, and a steadfast resolve to lead, legislate, and lobby according to your will. God, guide this assembly as it participates in your governing power. Remind them of their special responsibility as elected officials to lead in your way, to lean on your word, and to listen to your voice. I pray that these men and women who are called to represent the people of this great State of Texas be given an inspired vision of the common good of all mankind. As they speak for their constituents, help them to be a voice for the downtrodden, the defenseless, and the disenfranchised. We pray that the work of this house will contribute to the flourishing of this state and this nation, and that all people will be raised in dignity, encouraged in citizenship, and blessed in their pursuits. Lord, we commit this day to you. Thank you for hearing our prayer. For it is in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord we pray. Amen.

HOUSE BILLS
THIRD READING

The following bills were laid before the house and read third time:

HB 1066 ON THIRD READING
(by Ashby and Larson)

HB 1066, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to extensions of an expired permit for the transfer of groundwater from a groundwater conservation district.

HB 1066 - STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT

REPRESENTATIVE CYRIER: Thanks for spending time with us and talking through a lot of this. Obviously, this is, like you stated, a bill that's been passed through this body before, but you have made some changes to this that strengthens it, in our opinion. I know the governor actually vetoed this bill in the past because he felt that it needed more public participation. Can you explain a little bit more how you have strengthened this bill to have that public participation?

REPRESENTATIVE ASHBY: Yes, and thank you for the question. We have worked very closely with all the stakeholders again in bringing this bill before you this morning, members. Certainly we've worked closely with the governor's office. They are supportive of HB 1066 as presented this morning. What we did specifically regarding the public participation is the bill that was passed last session granted an automatic extension of that permit. In this bill, what we've allowed for, or what we're requiring, is that the groundwater conservation district has to have an open and public process to extend any operating or transfer permit. And of course, any member of the public can participate and petition that local body both for and against any permit that is to be extended. So absolutely, the public is very much involved in this.

CYRIER: So what you're stating is it brings it back to local control to those groundwater conservation districts that understand what those permits are doing and allows the public to then participate in the process which we currently have.

ASHBY: Yes, sir. That is exactly right.

CYRIER: I appreciate your explanation.

HB 1066 was passed by (Record 145): 147 Yeas, 1 Nays, 2 Present, not voting.

Floor Packet Page No. 43

Amend CSHB 3 (house committee report) as follows:
(1)  Strike page 37, line 10, through page 38, line 17, and substitute the following:
(k)  At least 52 percent of the funds [(c) Funds] allocated under this section must [shall] be used to:
(1)  fund supplemental programs and services designed to eliminate any disparity in performance on assessment instruments administered under Subchapter B, Chapter 39, or disparity in the rates of high school completion between:
(A)  students who are educationally disadvantaged and students who are not educationally disadvantaged; and
(B)  students at risk of dropping out of school, as defined by Section 29.081, and all other students; or
(2)  [. Specifically, the funds, other than an indirect cost allotment established under State Board of Education rule, which may not exceed 45 percent, may be used to meet the costs of providing a compensatory, intensive, or accelerated instruction program under Section 29.081 or a disciplinary alternative education program established under Section 37.008, to pay the costs associated with placing students in a juvenile justice alternative education program established under Section 37.011, or to] support a program eligible under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as provided by Pub. L. No. 103-382 and its subsequent amendments, and by federal regulations implementing that Act[, at a campus at which at least 40 percent of the students are educationally disadvantaged].
(l)  The commissioner shall adopt rules regarding the use of funds described by Subsection (k). The rules:
(1)  must:
(A)  permit a school district to use those funds for programs and services that reflect the needs of students at each campus in the district; and

(m)  The State Board of Education shall adopt rules requiring a report on the use of funds under Subsection (k) as part of the annual audit under Section 44.008 and shall develop minimum requirements for that report.
(n)  The commissioner annually shall review each report required under Subsection (m) for the preceding school year and:
(1)  identify each school district that was not in compliance with Subsection (k) during that school year; and
(2)  provide each district identified under Subdivision (1) a reasonable opportunity to comply with Subsection (k).
(o)  [In meeting the costs of providing a compensatory, intensive, or accelerated instruction program under Section 29.081, a district's compensatory education allotment shall be used for costs supplementary to the regular education program, such as costs for program and student evaluation, instructional materials and equipment and other supplies required for quality instruction, supplemental staff expenses, salary for teachers of at-risk students, smaller class size, and individualized instruction. A home-rule school district or an open-enrollment charter school must use funds allocated under Subsection (a) for a purpose authorized in this subsection but is not otherwise subject to Subchapter C, Chapter 29. For purposes of this subsection, a program specifically designed to serve students at risk of dropping out of school, as defined by Section 29.081, is considered to be a program supplemental to the regular education program, and a district may use its compensatory education allotment for such a program.
(2)  On page 41, strike lines 5 through 12 and substitute the following:
[(q-4)] The commissioner, in the year following a determination under Subsection (n) that a school district was not in compliance with Subsection (k) for the 2021-2022 school year or a subsequent school year [local audit of compensatory education expenditures], shall withhold from the [a] district's foundation school fund payment an amount equal to the amount of compensatory education funds the commissioner [agency] determines were not used in compliance with Subsection (k) [(c)]. The commissioner shall release to a district funds withheld under this subsection when the district provides to the commissioner a detailed plan to spend those funds in compliance with Subsection (k) [(c)]. In determining whether a school district is subject to the withholding of funding required under this subsection, the commissioner may consider the district's average use of funds for the three preceding school years.
(3)  On page 43, line 4, strike "[(a)]" and substitute "(a)".
(4)  Strike page 43, line 17, through page 44, line 1, and substitute the following:
(b)  At least 52 percent of the funds [Funds] allocated under this section[, other than an indirect cost allotment established under State Board of Education rule,] must be used in providing bilingual education or special language programs under Subchapter B, Chapter 29[, and must be accounted for under existing agency reporting and auditing procedures].
[(c)]  A district's bilingual education or special language allocation may be used only for program and student evaluation, instructional materials and equipment, staff development, supplemental staff expenses, salary supplements for teachers, incremental costs associated with providing smaller class sizes, and other supplies required for quality instruction [and smaller class size].
(c)  The State Board of Education shall adopt rules requiring a report on the use of funds under Subsection (b) as part of the annual audit under Section 44.008 and shall develop minimum requirements for that report.
(d)  The commissioner annually shall review each report required under Subsection (c) for the preceding school year and:
(1)  identify each school district that was not in compliance with Subsection (b) during that school year; and
(2)  provide each district identified under Subdivision (1) a reasonable opportunity to comply with Subsection (b).
(e)  The commissioner, in the year following a determination under Subsection (d) that a school district was not in compliance with Subsection (b) for the 2021-2022 school year or a subsequent school year, shall withhold from the district's foundation school fund payment an amount equal to the amount of bilingual education or special language funds the commissioner determines were not used in compliance with Subsection (b). The commissioner shall release to a district funds withheld under this subsection when the district provides to the commissioner a detailed plan to spend those funds in compliance with Subsection (b). In determining whether a school district is subject to the withholding of funding required under this subsection, the commissioner may consider the district's average use of funds for the three preceding school years.

AMENDMENT NO. 31 - REMARKS

REPRESENTATIVE SCHAEFER: One of the three pillars of the School Finance Commission was to focus on outcomes. As part of that, part of the recommendation was to look at what they did in Dallas. Results. They actually worked on teacher performance and finding objective as well as subjective measures to reward effective teachers with money––give them a monetary incentive. There was reluctance among some teachers, but if you're like me and you've had the privilege to speak to some of the Dallas ISD teachers who are now a part of this, it's been one of the most remarkable turnarounds in our state. You'll see that the teachers have bought in. They're doing it, and the students are benefiting. Every teacher, no matter how big the school is, no matter how small the school is, can be rewarded for being an effective teacher, and you can do that with money. You can do that with real world incentives that help them improve and advance. You can also do things to incentivize good teachers to go to struggling schools, as they've done. That was part of what the School Finance Commission recommended.
You saw a letter signed by superintendents representing about a million students in the State of Texas sign on to a merit pay incentive program in the State of Texas. Now, members, that was taken out of the bill. That's not in the bill as you see it today; it was as introduced. So this amendment lays out some of those components. Now, I've heard the objections––how are you going to require STAAR testing to be the measuring stick? That's not how it has to be done, members. You can have locally driven factors that are used: MAP, the Measures of Academic Progress on math and reading––these are tools they already use––district benchmarks, college readiness tests. We can frame a program like this and let local school districts choose how they do it. It doesn't have to be a top-down approach. There is a bottom-up approach that lets locally developed programs reward our best teachers. We can let them opt in; we don't have to make it mandatory. And it's not just about strategic staffing. It's about strategic compensation. One of the things that you hear is that for a teacher to do well financially, they have to get away from students and get into administration. Members, my point in bringing up this amendment is that if we're going to have this kind of historic financial commitment to our public schools, we need to stop and say: Are we really going to do something that is reform-minded and results-driven? This type of merit pay incentive program that is locally driven makes that possible. It's not in this bill, but it can be. And I know there's a component over in the senate on their side.
It is my hope, members, that we will pay attention to what happened in Dallas, and it's happened to some of these other schools. You really can't argue with the results. I've had great respectful conversations with teachers who've experienced the career ladder and it didn't work out as well. Some liked it, but many didn't––and I get that. But just like you do in the military when you can have a program where you give clear guidance and you say, "If you do this, this, and this, you'll get the incentive"––teachers can buy into that. Loving kids and loving teaching is a minimum requirement to be a teacher. It's a minimum requirement. But I think it's time we get serious about telling that young teacher that if you hone your craft, and you work in challenging environments, and you don't mind being evaluated, that you're going to get to where you can not only make a living, you're going to make a great living being a teacher because we value it. Right now, we have a system that values tenure. That's what we value––tenure. I know great teachers who don't make any more money than some of the poor teachers because they've simply been there so long. They've maxed out based on tenure; they're kept out.
Members, we have got to find a way to do what works. The Finance Commission said focus on outcomes. You've got to do that through financial incentives which we all respond to. The private sector responds to incentives. We can do that in our public schools. We can do it in a way that our ISDs can customize it for the big school and the rural school. We can do that, members. That's not too big of a challenge. So I'm going to urge you to pay attention to this issue whether you care about voting for this amendment or not today. Because this is alive this session. This is not dead. This issue needs to come back to the house with serious incentives for our teachers that will benefit our kids and help reform the system. Mr. Speaker, I'm going to withdraw my amendment, but it is my hope and my prayer that we see some component of this type of incentive come back and benefit the teachers and the students in the State of Texas.

Amendment No. 31 was withdrawn.

Amendment No. 46 - Point of Order

Representative K. King raised a point of order against further consideration of Amendment No. 46 under Rule 11, Section 2, of the House Rules. The point of order was sustained and the speaker submitted the following ruling:

RULING BY THE SPEAKER
on Amendment No. 46 to House Bill 3

Announced in the House on April 3, 2019

Representative K. King raises a point of order against further consideration of the Stickland amendment to the amendment under Rule 11, Section 2, in that the amendment is not germane to the Capriglione amendment. The subject of the Capriglione amendment is to require the inclusion of certain information concerning the recapture system on property tax bills. The subject of the Stickland amendment to the amendment is the repeal of the Robin Hood recapture system. Because the amendment to the amendment is about Robin Hood recapture and does not relate to the provision of information concerning recapture to property tax payers, the amendment to the amendment is therefore not germane. The point of order is well-taken and sustained.

The ruling precluded further consideration of Amendment No. 46.

Amendment No. 45 was withdrawn.

Amendment No. 50 - Point of Order

Representative Cain raised a point of order against further consideration of Amendment No. 50 under Rule 11, Section 2, of the House Rules. The point of order was sustained and the speaker submitted the following ruling:

RULING BY THE SPEAKER
on Amendment No. 50 to House Bill 3

Announced in the House on April 3, 2019

Representative Cain raises a point of order against further consideration of the Y. Davis amendment under Rule 11, Section 2, in that the amendment is not germane to the bill. The subject of the bill is the modernization of the Foundation School Program's funding of the public education system and the education of students with that funding. The subject of the amendment is the study of the relationship between school district size and school district cost and effectiveness. The amendment focuses on the operation and management of school districts and requires the commissioner of education to study several factors relating to the operation of school districts, many of which do not relate directly to the funding of public education or the education of students.
HB 3 is not an omnibus public education bill. The bill is limited to modernizing funding and the education of students with that funding. The bill does not address, in general terms, the operation of school districts. The amendment is beyond the scope of the bill's subject and is therefore not germane. 75 H.J. Reg. 1697-1698 (2003).
Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.

The ruling precluded further consideration of Amendment No. 50.
