With Texas facing a multi-billion-dollar deficit, it's the wrong time to be sending Texas taxpayer dollars to out-of-state charter operators. Locally elected school boards are best able to provide accountability, transparency and local control over taxpayer dollars. #txlege #TxEd

Recapture removes many millions of dollars from districts with large enrollments such as Austin & Plano. But it places a heavy burden on taxpayers in districts of all sizes. Taxpayers in Wink-Loving ISD, for example, pay $213,000 in recapture per student. #txlege

Todd Williams@williamstodd78

@TXSC_org Would love to know what the top ten districts, representing <1% of the state’s districts paid. Austin, Highland Park, Plano, etc. I suspect it is a huge percentage of the total amount of recapture paid.

Important reminder: Robin Hood continues to place a heavy burden on taxpayers across Texas. Texas school districts paid over $2.4 billion in Robin Hood recapture to the state this year. #txlege #txed

This month, @AustinISD has sent $618.2 million of taxes collected in Austin to the State of Texas. The payment is 46.6 percent of the district's local tax revenue—and almost half of AISD's annual budget of $1.6 billion. #TxLege #TxEd Learn more: http://www.austinisd.org/announcements/2020/08/24/austin-isd-pays-6182-million-466-percent-local-tax-revenue-state
