Tax Caps

The purpose of this research was to examine funding losses experienced by preschool to grade 12 (P–12) public school districts in Indiana, U.S., from an equity standpoint after the implementation of statewide property tax caps. All Indiana public school districts (N = 292) rely on property taxes as a major source of revenue, but districts experienced widely varying losses after the tax reform. Analyses across an array of district characteristics revealed significant relationships between differential funding losses and demographic indicators, including total student enrollment and the percentages of certain minoritized students. Implications for policy and practice include the integration of findings with essential research on funding equity in public education and attention on leadership toward reducing funding disparities.

Abstract This article provides an overview of public school funding mechanisms and the interface between local, state, and federal funding streams. Information about the impact of a weak economy on school funding is explored with suggestions for speech-language pathologists to use in times of budget crises to evaluate, prioritize, and improve quality of services for students.

Texas School Districts

Some critics called the uncapped supplemental payments received by predominately rural West Texas school districts prior to 2009 “windfalls.” The result of this one-sided understanding, and subsequently the complete elimination of such agreements between school districts and companies owning qualifying projects, is a handicap to what could be utilized as a valuable tool in filling the current deficit for public school funding. In 2011, the 82nd Texas Legislature appropriated at least $4 billion below what had been the current formula funding level for public education for the 2012-2013 biennium; some estimates had this figure over $5 billion. More recently, in 2013, the 83rd Legislature only returned $3.4 billion to public schools. In a time when funding options are shrinking, why would the Comptroller’s office suggest, and the Legislature pass, caps on incentives that provide additional funding for school districts? This Article will explore the development of public school funding in Texas and the possibility of utilizing the Act as a means of providing additional funding for the public school system while encouraging large-scale capital investment, specifically by renewable energy projects qualifying under Chapter 313 of the Texas Tax Code.
