Texas Legislature delays public school finance bill impact on FISD
Fredericksburg Independent School District and others face timing crunch as the Texas Legislature fails to pass a 1977 79 public school finance bill. Governor Briscoe plans a mid summer special session to address the issue, likely delaying funding and complicating next year’s budgeting for FISD. Local officials warn late allocations will hamper instructional programs and require conservative purchasing while TEA works out guidelines and formulas. The dispute centers on how to value open space land for local funding allocations under the State Foundation Program.
