Schools Face Hike In Matching State Funds
The school district faces a potential $399,000 rise in local fund assignment for the next school year. Supt. Johnny Clark told the school board, which meets Monday at 7:30 p.m. for a preliminary look at the figure based on Harris County allocations for the state Minimum Foundation Program. An $229,000 calculation suggests an eight-cent tax-rate increase on the current $458 million district roll, though higher local values may offset this.
