Why Does DSEF Need Additional School Funding?
The Texas Recapture program, also known as Robin Hood, has significantly strained Texas public school districts in recent years. Originally designed as a limited measure to redistribute local property tax revenue for education, Recapture has expanded dramatically, diverting almost $5 billion annually from school districts to the state budget. This exponential growth has tripled the financial burden over the past decade, affecting over 1.2 million students. Many districts serve predominantly disadvantaged populations, making the loss of funding even more devastating. Addressing these challenges often requires local support to help bridge funding gaps and ensure our students have a strong future in public education.
