District briefed on House Bill 2 changes to school‑safety funding and staff notification rules
Summary
Chief Mosely told the committee that House Bill 2 redesignated the School Safety Allotment (Section 48.160) and raised campus and per‑student funding levels; HB2 also requires timely notification to teaching staff, including aides, about campus‑level threats.
At the July 23 meeting, Chief Mosely summarized provisions of House Bill 2 that change how the School Safety Allotment is administered. The minutes record that the allotment was moved to Subchapter D and redesignated as Section 48.160 of the Education Code, and that funding components were increased from $10 per ADA and $15,000 per eligible campus to $20 per ADA and $33,540 per eligible campus.
The minutes further state the per‑student funding component is indexed to $21.10 per ADA tied to an additional $1 for each student in ADA per every $50 by which the district's maximum Basic Allotment exceeds $6,160; minutes say these adjustments are being applied automatically. Chief Mosely also told the committee that HB2 requires timely notification to all teaching staff, including aides, who may be directly affected by a campus‑level threat. The minutes do not include the district's estimated additional revenue resulting from these changes.
The committee received the statutory summary as information; no formal vote or budget resolution related to HB2 appears in the minutes.
