The 87th Texas Legislature passed House Bill (HB) 1525, which amends state law related to
weighted funding for students who take career and technical education (CTE) courses. The
legislation establishes that, beginning with the 2021-22 school year, for each full-time
equivalent student in average daily attendance in an approved CTE program in grades 7
through 12, a district is entitled to weighted funding as follows:
• 1.1 for CTE courses not in an approved program of study;
• 1.28 for levels one and two CTE courses in an approved program of study, as identified
by the agency; or
• 1.47 for levels three and four CTE courses in an approved program of study, as
identified by the agency.
