Sec. 48.010. DETERMINATION OF FUNDING LEVELS. (a) Not later than July 1 of each year, the commissioner shall determine for each school district whether the estimated amount of state and local funding per student in weighted average daily attendance to be provided to the district under the Foundation School Program for maintenance and operations for the following school year is less than the amount provided to the district for the 2010-2011 school year.

(3) determine a district's weighted average daily attendance in accordance with this chapter as it existed on January 1, 2011.
