Tex. Educ. Code Section 30A.155
Fees


(a)

A school district or open-enrollment charter school may charge a fee for enrollment in an electronic course provided through the state virtual school network to a student who resides in this state and:

(1)

is enrolled in a school district or open-enrollment charter school as a full-time student with a course load greater than that normally taken by students in the equivalent grade level in other school districts or open-enrollment charter schools; or

(2)

elects to enroll in an electronic course provided through the network for which the school district or open-enrollment charter school in which the student is enrolled as a full-time student declines to pay the cost, as authorized by Section 26.0031 (Rights Concerning State Virtual School Network)(c-1).

(a-1)

A school district or open-enrollment charter school may charge a fee for enrollment in an electronic course provided through the state virtual school network during the summer.

(c)

The amount of a fee charged a student under Subsection (a), (a-1), or (b) for each electronic course in which the student enrolls through the state virtual school network may not exceed the lesser of:

(1)

the cost of providing the course; or

(2)

$400.

(c-1)
