A charter granted under Texas Education Code, §12.101(b-7),
for a dropout recovery school shall not be considered for the purposes
of the limit on the number of charters for open enrollment under the
cap. Such charter, however, shall expire at the end of any school
year in which the school does not meet the statutory definition of
dropout recovery as determined by the Texas Education Agency from
the applicable Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS)
report. A dropout recovery school shall be defined as a school that:
(1) serves students in Grades 9-12;
(2) has an enrollment of which 50% of students are
17 years of age or older as of September 1 of the school year as reported
for the fall semester PEIMS submission; and
(3) meets eligibility requirements for and is registered
under alternative education accountability (AEA) procedures.
