Recommendations for Legislative Consideration on Public Education in Texas. Public School Finance Plan. A Special Supplement. Submitted to the Governor and the Sixty-Fourth Legislature.
Texas Education Agency, Austin.
This pamphlet is intended as a supplement to the booklet, "Recommendations for Legislative Consideration on Public Education in Texas," which was also published by the Texas Education Agency in November 1974. This pamphlet discusses a proposed state school finance plan developed by the State Board of Education and presents 12 specific recommendations for legislative action. Basically, these recommendations call for (1) expansion of the state Foundation School Program, (2) establishment of a statewide market value index for taxable property, (3) assignment of the local share of Foundation School Program costs in relation to each district's taxable capacity as determined from a market value index with provision for equalization of funds above the Program, (4) full state funding of the Foundation School Program and expansion of local enrichment opportunities if market value information is not obtained, and (5) phased implementation of improvements in public school finance in Texas.
