Description:

Royal ISD is subject to the provisions of Chapter 49 (previously Chapter 41) for 2025-2026 school year.  All agreements for the purchase of attendance credits are to be submitted to TEA before January 15, 2026.

As in prior years, RISD chooses to submit the Option 3 contract for the purchase of attendance credits. These documents can be submitted by the superintendent through the Excess Local Revenue system on the online FSP System.  The following statement must be approved and recorded in the board minutes for the superintendents to have the authority to obligate the school district:

"For the 2025-2026 school year, we delegated contractual authority to obligate the school district under Texas Education Code (TEC) §11.1511(c)(4) to the superintendent, solely for the purpose of obligating the district under TEC, §48.257 and TEC, Chapter 49, Subchapters A and D, and the rules adopted by the commissioner of education as authorized under TEC, 49.006.  This authority includes approval of the Agreement for the Purchase of Attendance Credit."
