Proposal Would Make State Pay All Foundation Costs
Baytown taxpayers could save about 47 cents on the local school tax rate and more than $2 million by eliminating the Local Fund Assignment if a 4 bill to fund 100 percent of the Minimum Foundation School Program passes in Austin. The bill would shift costs from local districts like Baytown to the state, though local costs for additional programs remain. Senate Bill 406 would use a new formula, affecting Local Funds Assignment, while Connally's bill targets overall tax relief and may fund the change via sales and franchise taxes. Harris County officials and the Texas School Board Association weigh the bills.
