SB 598 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the school safety allotment under the public school finance system.

SB 598 increases school safety funding in Texas by raising two key allotment components. It raises the per-student payment from $10 to $100 per student in average daily attendance and increases the campus-level allotment from $15,000 to $60,000 per school campus. These changes will apply to all Texas public school districts starting September 1, 2025. The bill directly affects school districts by providing higher annual funding for safety-related expenses under the state's public school finance system.
