Proposing a constitutional amendment authorizing a municipality to use money to fund certain capital improvements to certain school campuses.
HJR 180 proposes a constitutional amendment allowing Texas municipalities to use their funds for capital improvements to public school campuses. Specifically, it would authorize cities to pay for school building upgrades needed due to increased student enrollment from new low-income housing developments (funded by low-income housing tax credits) within the school district's attendance zone. The amendment must be approved by voters in the November 2025 election. If passed, it would change the state constitution to permit this specific funding mechanism between municipalities and school districts.
