Editorial from @DMNOpinion highlights the fact that school districts such as Dallas & Austin are losing more & more to Robin Hood recapture, but they mostly serve low-income families. "What we have in place now is still failing Texas children." #txlege https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/editorials/2022/08/02/dallas-isds-growing-payments-to-the-state-show-why-we-cant-be-done-with-tax-reform/

While inflation is driving up costs such as fuel for school buses and housing for teachers, the state is taking record amounts away from taxpayers to fund Robin Hood recapture. @TaliRichman with @dallasnews explains. #txlege #txed https://www.dallasnews.com/news/education/2022/07/26/amid-growing-robin-hood-payments-property-rich-texas-schools-want-state-relief/

"The problem is that there is no accountability in the recapture process, White said. Excess funds from districts subject to recapture go to the state’s general fund." Important story about rising recapture from @impactnews. #txlege #txed https://communityimpact.com/austin/lake-travis-westlake/education/2022/07/25/lake-travis-isd-considers-2022-23-budget-amid-inflation-unchanged-basic-allotment/

Property value growth has driven Robin Hood recapture to new heights — more than $3 billion taken away from school districts. When recapture exceeds projections, the result should be more funding for education, rather than a savings for the state. #txlege #txed

Coalition President Kyle Lynch gave testimony to the House Public Ed Committee today and highlighted the ways high inflation has operating costs such as fuel and utilities for school districts. Schools need a higher Basic Allotment. #txlege #txed https://www.txsc.org/school-finance-testimony-in-house/
