| (10) TEC, §§25.08111 and 25.111-25.114, do
not apply.
(11) The requirements of TEC, §28.004, to have
a school health advisory council do not apply, but the special purpose
school district shall:
(A) comply with the provisions of TEC, §28.004,
with regard to the parameters of health education and curriculum materials;
posting, notice, and grievance provisions; and consideration of related
issues; and
(B) require that the advisory board solicit community
and parental input and develop recommendations regarding the subject
matter of TEC, §28.004(c)(1), (2)(A) and (D)-(H), and (3)-(6).
(12) Financial accountability and fiscal management
under TEC, Chapters 39 and 44, shall apply as if the special purpose
school district were a university charter school, and the special
purpose school district's public funds must be maintained in a manner
that allows auditing of the public funds separate from other funds.
(j) The provisions of this section apply to each special
purpose school district's operation for educating students eligible
for enrollment in Texas public schools who enroll in the state-funded
special purpose school district. This section does not apply to a
tuition-based program operated in tandem with the state-funded program.
However, the school operations that include Texas students are subject
to subsection (l) of this section.
(1) A parent of a Texas student may voluntarily decide
to enroll a student in the tuition-based program.
(2) The special purpose school district shall biannually
report student attendance in its state-funded school and Texas student
attendance in its tuition-supported school. Information shall be provided
to ensure that student participation does not disadvantage any student
group from access to the state-funded school.
(k) Each special purpose school district shall submit
to the SBOE by September 1 of each odd-numbered year an updated list
by section of the TEC, Title I and Title II, with recommendations
regarding which sections of the code should apply or not apply to
the operations of its schools. The submission must compare the recommendations
to the list last provided to the SBOE.
(l) If the special purpose school district declines
FSP payment, the special purpose school district is authorized to
charge tuition and is subject to:
(1) accreditation, academic assessment, academic and
financial accountability, and interventions under TEC, Chapters 39
and 39A; and
(2) reporting requirements imposed by the Texas Education
Agency.
(m) The parent university of each special purpose school
district shall submit nominations for and establish an advisory board
as soon as practicable, and the provisions of this section that require
the special purpose school district to develop a policy apply beginning
with the 2021-2022 school year.
