Investing in Our Future: What You Need to Know as Texas Re-Examines the School Finance System. Part 4. Funding Schools is a Shared Responsibility: Finding a Balance between State and Local Funding Sources
Villanueva, Chandra
Center for Public Policy Priorities
Beginning in 2018, the Texas Commission on Public School Finance, comprised of 13 members inside and outside of the legislature, will begin the task of studying and making recommendations to improve the school finance system. This five-part series prepares readers to engage with lawmakers and the school finance commission by providing background on past school finance commissions, the strengths and challenges of the current finance system, and recommendations for improvements. Part 4 of this series explores how the state relies on rising property values to fund schools and recommendations for finding balance between the state and local share of school funding.
