(a) Each public junior college district shall receive Performance Tier funding under Texas Education Code, chapter 130A, subchapter C. A district increases its Performance Tier funding amount by producing Fundable Outcomes, with Fundable Outcomes achieved in certain categories eligible for an additional multiplier (Fundable Outcome Weights), as calculated by the Coordinating Board. A Fundable Outcome multiplied by the Fundable Outcome Weight constitutes a Weighted Outcome Completion. A district's Performance Tier funding amount equals the total of each Weighted Outcome Completion multiplied by the funding rates for that completion, as identified in this subchapter. Funding rates include an additional weight for fundable credentials delivered in a high-demand field.
(b) Fundable Outcomes. Section 13.556 of this subchapter (relating to Performance Tier: Fundable Outcomes) defines each Fundable Outcome type, including the methodology used to calculate each outcome.
(c) Fundable Outcome Weight. Section 13.557 of this subchapter (relating to Performance Tier: Fundable Outcome Weights) and subchapter T of this chapter (relating to Community College Finance Program: High-Demand Fields) define each Fundable Outcome Weight type, including the methodology used to calculate each outcome. Fundable Outcome Weights consist of the following categories:
  (1) Fundable Outcomes achieved by economically disadvantaged students;
  (2) Fundable Outcomes achieved by academically disadvantaged students; and
  (3) Fundable Outcomes achieved by adult learners.
