| Abstract | In 2019, the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 3 (HB 3) -- an $11.6 billion school finance reform law that dedicated over $6 billion toward investments in education and $5 billion toward replacing school property taxes with state aid. The property tax cut portion of HB 3 is set to expand each year, costing the state more money annually without sending any additional funding into classrooms. While HB 3 makes an ongoing financial commitment to property tax cuts, no similar promises are made to the children of Texas to keep pace with rising future education costs, reform special education funding, or improve funding for the 80 percent of English learners left behind in HB 3. The costly property tax cuts in HB 3 will put a strain on the state's 2022-2023 budget and limit resources available for keeping school funding whole as Texas districts work through the COVID-19 crisis and accompanying instability in enrollment and attendance. The first priority of the 2021 Legislature should be to ensure the state's schools have stable funding throughout this school year and the coming biennium, and add any additional resources needed to combat losses of learning and pivots in service delivery. To accomplish this, the Legislature should freeze the costly and inequitable property tax cuts for the biennium and put the Texas students first. (ERIC). |
