Recaptured School District List Reaches All-Time High
Robin Hood strikes 23 new school districts, 374 Texas districts
AUSTIN, Texas – New data from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) shows a record
number of school districts are now considered property wealthy under Chapter 41 of the
Texas Education Code. A total of 374 school districts are subject to the recapture
provisions of the law during the 2012-2013 school year, and 23 appear on the list for the
first time.
“The fact that more districts qualify for this status than ever before reinforces the fact that
our method of funding public education is broken. Texas has just over 1000 school
districts and having close to 400 of them considered property wealthy shows that there is
not enough money in the system overall,” said Christy Rome, Executive Director of the
Texas School Coalition.
The Robin Hood system of school finance began in 1993 and applied to 35 school
districts. It took 14 years to reach 164 revenue-contributing districts, but only five years
to add the next 210 districts.
“Over half of the students in revenue-contributing districts throughout the state are
economically disadvantaged,” Rome said, “and now their taxpayers will be asked to send
money into Austin. It will come as a shock to many in these communities, but somehow
the myth continues that these districts are primarily made up of wealthy students and
parents.”
The Texas Legislature failed for the first time in 60 years to fund enrollment growth by
cutting $5.4 billion from public education for the current two-year budget cycle.
“Rather than continuing to add recapture districts, the obvious solution is for the
Legislature to adequately fund education,” Rome said.
###
The Texas School Coalition represents school districts that return tax dollars raised from their
local homeowners and businesses to the state. Since 1993, these revenue-contributing districts
have given more than $15 billion to the statewide system and they are now contributing about $1
billion annually.
