Social Security and veterans' compensation and pensions are examples of entitlement programs.
  • Year: means 12 consecutive months. See Texas Government Code 311.005

In determining whether a school district has a local revenue level in excess of entitlement, the commissioner shall use:
(1) the district’s final weighted average daily attendance; and
(2) the amount of attendance credit a district purchases under Subchapter D or the number of nonresident students a district educates under Subchapter E for a school year.
