Proposed Change In Fund Assignment Costing Local Schools
A Texas education leader warns that shifting funds from local districts to the minimum foundation program could raise local costs by about $6,000 per year for Alpine and similar districts. Charles H. Tennyson cautions that local share already covers roughly 40 percent of public education, with states and federal aid as the rest. He notes districts shoulder bond debt, operations, and building costs while competing with other states’ grant programs. The piece flags the classroom shortage affecting thousands of elementary students and argues against centralized control in favor of local funding and oversight.
