19 Tex. Admin. Code § 66.1312 - Delayed Publisher Payment Option
(a) A
school district or an open-enrollment charter school may requisition and
receive state-adopted instructional materials before instructional materials
and technology allotment funds for those materials are available.
(b) The total cost of delayed-payment-option
materials requisitioned by a school district or an open-enrollment charter
school may not exceed 80% of the district's or charter school's expected
allotment for the subsequent biennium.
(c) When a school district or an
open-enrollment charter school submits a requisition for instructional
materials under this section, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) will expend a
district's or charter school's existing allotment balance before applying the
delayed payment option.
(d) The TEA
will make payment for any remaining balance for a school district's or an
open-enrollment charter school's order under this section as the allotment
funds become available.
(e) The TEA
will prioritize payment for requisitions under this section over reimbursement
of purchases made directly by a school district or an open-enrollment charter
school.
(f) Publishers may decline
orders for which payments could be delayed. A publisher's decision to decline
an order under this section shall affect all of that publisher's orders for
which payments could be delayed. Publishers may not selectively decline
individual orders or orders from individual school districts or open-enrollment
charter schools.
(g) Texas
Government Code, Chapter 2251, does not apply to requisitions placed under this
section.
(h) Texas Education Code,
§
31.151, does apply to
orders placed under this section.
