Abstract	Through case studies of five states with varying facilities policies, the study presented in "What about the Schools? Factors Contributing to Expanded State Investment in School Facilities" examines the factors contributing to expanded state investment in equitable public school facilities and how those factors can be leveraged to encourage states that make minimal investments to expand their support for facilities funding. The five case study states are Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Texas, and Wyoming. This report provides details from the case study of Texas. The state of Texas has experienced rapid population growth and student enrollment increases in the past couple decades. While state and local levels have both invested in educational facilities in Texas over the last 20 years, the share of facilities investment coming from state versus local sources is low. Texas' state share of total capital outlay was only 9 percent ($12.21 billion), from the 1992-93 school year to the 2012-13 school year, compared with a national average of 18 percent (Filardo, 2016).
