The planning includes addressing funding for the next two years.
For the 88th Legislature, the district which serves more than 33,500 students is hoping for a better outcome when it comes to state funding. According to figures from the district, nearly 20 percent of Spring Branch ISD’s local tax receipts are recaptured by the state. This year, “$87 million will be taken from the district, while also reducing its share of public education funding with little transparency about how those dollars are used,” according to the district.
“We encourage the community to be a part of ensuring that Spring Branch ISD maintains its strong reputation as a premiere school district,” said Christine Porter, Associate Superintendent for Finance. “We need the support and commitment to let the legislature know that this is critical for our district.
