High Enrollment Growth (HEG) Adjustments for 2024-25 School Year

The High-Enrollment Growth (HEG) adjustment provides additional Instructional Materials and Technology Allotment (IMTA) funds to districts experiencing significant student enrollment increases in a given school year. 

HEG adjustments for 2025 were calculated using a comparison of the fall 2023 data to the fall 2024 PEIMS enrollment data. High-enrollment-growth adjustments are based on the difference between the school district's or open-enrollment charter school's percentage of enrollment growth and that of the state. Enrollment growth calculations are determined each fiscal year based on fall Texas Student Data System Public Education Information Management System (TSDS PEIMS) enrollment data. This year, a district qualifies for HEG if its enrollment growth in a single year exceeds the state’s 10-year average annual growth rate, which is 0.58% (2015–2025).

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has identified the school systems with the highest enrollment growth from fall 2023 to fall 2024 and will make adjustments for 474 districts. 

The adjustments provide an additional $146.37 per eligible student. 

The commissioner’s determination under this process is final and cannot be appealed, per 19 Texas Administrative Code (TAC), §66.1309(c)

The list of qualifying districts and the amount of the adjustment for each is available on the Instructional Materials Funding web page of the TEA website. The additional funding will be loaded into EMAT, the instructional materials ordering system, by mid-July 2025.
