- (II) for districts not subject to the provisions of the TEC, Chapter 41, the difference between the transportation allotment that the district was entitled to receive under the TEC, §42.155, in the target year and the transportation allotment that the district was entitled to receive in 2007-2008 or 2008-2009, as applicable.
(D) S4 total state and local revenue. S4 total state and local revenue is determined by the amount of state and local formula revenue that is generated at the CTR for 2007-2008 or 2008-2009, as applicable, based on the provisions of the TEC, Chapters 12, 41, and 42, as they existed on September 1, 2007, and on the tax collections defined by subsection (a)(14) of this section. S4 total state and local revenue is calculated as follows.
(i) S4 total state and local revenue includes the sum of the following:
- (I) Tier 1 state aid;
- (II) Tier 2, Level 1, state aid, as determined under the TEC, §42.302(a-1);

(E) Determining the need for ASATR funding or a reduction of excess revenue.
- (i) The need for ASATR funding is determined by comparing the revenue target to S4 total state and local revenue.
(ii) The revenue target is calculated by adding the following:
- (I) the base target revenue, which is the greatest of adjusted S1 total target revenue as described in subsection (b)(2)(A)(v) of this section, adjusted S2 total target revenue as described in subsection (b)(2)(B)(v) of this section, and adjusted S3 total target revenue as described in subsection (b)(2)(C)(v) of this section;
- (II) the Salary Allotment, which is the product of the number of MSS employees for 2007-2008 or 2008-2009, as applicable, multiplied by $2,500;
- (III) the High School Allotment, which is the product of the number of high school ADA for 2007-2008 or 2008-2009, as applicable, multiplied by $275;
- (IV) any tuition paid adjustment, which is the difference between the tuition paid in 2007-2008 or 2008-2009, as applicable, and the tuition paid in the target year;
- (V) any other adjustment to tax collections; and
- (VI) any Texas Tax Code, Chapter 313, tax credit aid.
- (iii) If the revenue target is greater than S4 total state and local revenue, then the district is entitled to receive ASATR equal to the difference between the revenue target and S4 total state and local revenue. If S4 total state and local revenue is greater than the revenue target, then ASATR is equal to zero. For a district with an adopted M&O tax rate below the CTR, any ASATR the district is entitled to is reduced in proportion to the amount by which the adopted M&O tax rate is less than the CTR.
- (iv) If S4 total state and local revenue is greater than the revenue target, then a reduction of excess revenue is calculated by subtracting S4 total state and local revenue from the revenue target. The result will be a negative number. If the revenue target is greater than S4 total state and local revenue, the reduction of excess revenue is equal to zero.

- (C) State and local revenue (S4) for the applicable year is calculated by adding Tier 1 state aid for that year to M&O tax collections at the CTR for that year and then subtracting from that sum recapture at the CTR for that year.
(D) The need for ASATR funding is determined as follows.
- (i) If adjusted minimum revenue for the applicable year is greater than state and local revenue for that year, then the district is entitled to receive ASATR equal to the difference. For a district with an adopted M&O tax rate below the CTR, any ASATR the district is entitled to is reduced in proportion to the amount by which the adopted M&O tax rate is less than the CTR.
- (ii) If state and local revenue for the applicable year is greater than adjusted minimum revenue for that year, then ASATR is equal to zero.
- (E) Revenue at the CTR for the applicable year is the sum of state and local revenue (S4) for that year and any ASATR the district is entitled to for that year.
- (F) Revenue per WADA at the CTR for the applicable year is calculated by dividing revenue at the CTR for that year by the number of WADA for that year.
(c) Recapture at the CTR used to calculate state and local revenue (S4) for 2012-2013 and subsequent years.
- (1) For a school district that experiences an increase in tax collections in tax year 2012 or a subsequent tax year because it meets one or more of the criteria established under the TEC, §42.2516(f-1)(1), (2), and (3), or that ceases to deposit tax collections into a TIF as described in the TEC, §42.2516(f-1)(4), in tax year 2012 or a subsequent year, recapture at the CTR for use in S4 for the applicable year is reduced by recalculating the recapture owed using M&O tax collections at the CTR that are decreased as described in subsection (a)(14)(B) of this section.
- (2) For a school district that experiences a decrease in tax collections in tax year 2012 or a subsequent tax year because it meets one or more of the criteria established under the TEC, §42.2516(f-1)(1), (2), and (3), or that begins to deposit tax collections into a TIF as described in the TEC, §42.2516(f-1)(4), in tax year 2012 or a subsequent year, recapture at the CTR for use in S4 for the applicable year is increased by recalculating the recapture owed using M&O tax collections at the CTR that are increased as described in subsection (a)(14)(C) of this section.
(d) Consolidation.
(1) If two or more school districts consolidate, a new target revenue per WADA for the consolidated district is calculated as follows.
- (A) The number of WADA for each district for the applicable year is multiplied by the district's target revenue per WADA for the applicable year.
- (B) The results are summed.
- (C) The sum is divided by the total number of WADA in the consolidated district to produce target revenue per WADA for the consolidated district.
- (2) The new target revenue per WADA applies to the computation of ASATR and any incentive aid under the TEC, §13.281, for the consolidated district.
