Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024

(a) Each public junior college district shall receive Performance Tier funding under Texas Education Code, chapter 130A, subchapter C. A district increases its Performance Tier funding amount by producing Fundable Outcomes, with Fundable Outcomes achieved in certain categories eligible for an additional multiplier (Fundable Outcome Weights), as calculated by the Coordinating Board. A Fundable Outcome multiplied by the Fundable Outcome Weight constitutes a Weighted Outcome Completion. A district's Performance Tier funding amount equals the total of each Weighted Outcome Completion multiplied by the funding rates for that completion, as identified in §13.559 of this subchapter (relating to Performance Tier: Rates). Funding rates include an additional weight for fundable credentials delivered in a high-demand field.

(b) Fundable Outcomes. Section 13.556 of this subchapter (relating to Performance Tier: Fundable Outcomes) defines each Fundable Outcome type, including the methodology used to calculate each outcome.

(c) Fundable Outcome Weight. Section 13.557 of this subchapter (relating to Performance Tier: Fundable Outcome Weights) and subchapter T of this chapter (relating to Community College

Finance Program: High-Demand Fields) define each Fundable Outcome Weight type, including the methodology used to calculate each outcome. Fundable Outcome Weights consist of the following categories:

(1) Fundable Outcomes achieved by economically disadvantaged students;

(2) Fundable Outcomes achieved by academically disadvantaged students; and

(3) Fundable Outcomes achieved by adult learners.

(d) For the purposes of calculating Weighted Outcome Completions for formula funding amounts for a fiscal year, the Coordinating Board shall calculate the funded number of Weighted Outcome Completions as the greater of the average of the district's Weighted Outcome Completion counts for the fiscal year being funded and two fiscal years prior, as calculated by subchapter U of this chapter (relating to Community College Finance Program: Forecasting Methodology and Finance Policy), and the count for the fiscal year being funded, as calculated according to subchapter U.

(e) Fundable Outcome Rates. Section 13.558 of this subchapter (relating to Performance Tier: High-Demand Fields) and §13.559 of this subchapter defines fundable outcomes awarded in a high-demand field and the rates for each fundable outcome, including the higher rate for fundable credentials awarded in a high demand field.
