BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Previously, the Nixon-Smiley Consolidated Independent School District
(NSCISD) was located within the Victoria College District service area.
Traditionally, college districts provide dual-credit classes for students
and schools within the district so that students have the ability to excel
in their college courses. For two years leading up to the 77th Legislature,
Austin Community College worked with NSCISD to provide programs for their
students.  House Bill 3258 transfers the territory within NSCISD in
Gonzales County from the Victoria College District service area to the
Austin Community College District service area. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

ANALYSIS

the Nixon-Smiley Consolidated Independent School District that is located
in Gonzales County from the Victoria College District service area to the
Austin Community College District service area.
