BISD Faces Major State Funding Cut Under Proposal
Brownfield Independent School District faces a potential $202,000 drop in state funding if a Texas Senate proposal is enacted next year. Superintendent Don Hendley warns the recalculated Price Differential Index would shrink BISD allocations to about $1,488 per student for 1985 86, down from $1,569. He cites a shift favoring large districts like Dallas and Houston, with Lubbock ISD at $1,580.34 per student. The board discussed impacts during a three hour session after attending December meetings in Austin.
