HB 595 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

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

HB 595 would adjust the basic funding amounts and guaranteed yield for public schools under the state's Foundation School Program to account for inflation. This change ensures school districts receive annual funding increases that match rising costs, directly affecting public school budgets. The bill modifies the state's school finance formula to automatically adjust these amounts based on inflation data. The adjustment aims to maintain the real value of school funding over time without requiring new legislative action each year.
