Relating to the basic allotment and the guaranteed yield under the Foundation School Program.

SB 597 updates Texas school funding by increasing the base per-student allotment under the Foundation School Program from $6,160 to $7,564. It revises the formula used to calculate each district's guaranteed state funding level, now basing it on the new $7,564 figure multiplied by specific tax rate factors. This change directly affects all Texas public school districts that receive state funding through the Foundation School Program, altering how their basic allotment and guaranteed yield are determined. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025.
