TEXAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS Finance - or - “Just Who’s Paying for All of This?”” Presented: March 24, 2011

Percentage of Revenues from Federal, State & Local Sources

Funding Sources in Texas

Local School Property Taxes Maximum of $1.50 (plus interest payments) per $100 valuation of property. Divide Total Property Value by 100 Multiply the result by the Tax Rate Property-Rich school districts have more money per pupil to spend than Property- Poor Districts

State-Level School Funding Tier I : Average Daily Attendance Funding –Funding per pupil in attendance per school day Tier II : Recapture Funds –TEC Chapter 41 & 42 Definitions Tier III : Instructional Facilities Allotment –Only for Building Construction –Must be “Chapter 42” School District –Must have maximum local school tax rate –Voters must approve bond election for 15%

Texas Recapture Law Property-Rich districts send back part, all, or more of their State Allotment to equalize the spending per pupil between districts. Found to be inequitable by Texas Supreme Court Effectively a “State Property Tax” No new plan in place yet.

Effects of the Inequity Students in more affluent districts still end up with more money being spent on their education Can you get the SAME education at 90% of the price? 80%? 70%? Equal spending vs. Equitable Spending Are students from less affluent districts (tend to be mainly ethnic minorities) receiving lower quality education?

Federal Money to the Rescue! Categorical v. Block Grants Categorical  Money must be spent for designated purposes or categories  Title I & No Child Left Behind Block  Money is not designated for special purposes and may be spent as receiver chooses  The “old” way of receiving Federal money
