Background: This year, ÁùºÏ±¦µä expects to send $175 million in local property tax revenue to the state, more than any other school district in Texas.
To determine how much state funding our district receives, the state uses formulas developed in 1984.
The district's commitment to offering all children educational opportunities that prepare them to succeed in college, career and life becomes more challenging each year under the state's system of financing public schools.
