Relating to the basic allotment and guaranteed yield under the Foundation School Program, including an adjustment in those amounts to reflect inflation.

HB 3277 adjusts Texas public school funding under the Foundation School Program by requiring annual inflation-based increases to the basic allotment per student. Starting with the 2026-2027 school year, the base funding amount will rise each year using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This directly affects all Texas school districts receiving state funding under the program, ensuring their base allotment keeps pace with inflation. The bill amends existing education code sections to implement this adjustment, effective September 1, 2025.
