Download or read book The Property Tax, School Funding Dilemma written by Daphne A. Kenyon and published by Lincoln Inst of Land Policy. This book was released on 2007 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: States experiencing taxpayer revolts among homeowners are tempted to reduce reliance on the property tax to fund schools. But a more targeted approach can provide property tax relief and improve state funding for public education. This policy focus report includes a comprehensive review of recent research on both property tax and school funding, and summarizes case studies of seven states-- California, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio and Texas. The majority of these states are heavily reliant on property tax revenues to fund schools. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution, the report recommends addressing property taxes and school funding separately.

Download or read book Equity Analysis of the Governor's Educational Excellence & Property Tax Relief Plan (April 2004). Testimony Before the Joint Select Committee on Public School Finance, 78th Texas State Legislature (April 19, 2004) written by Scott McCown and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this testimony Scott McCown testifies on behalf of the Center for Public Policy Priorities. The center is interested in public school finance because education is the pathway to prosperity for low-income Texans. McCown's personal expertise in school finance comes from having presided as a state district judge over the state's school finance cases from 1990-2002. The Governor's plan rests on four principles, and McCown was asked to comment on the third: "Eliminating Robin Hood while increasing funding equity in our public schools." McCown elaborates on his four major points: (1) In a good school finance system, the question is not what percentage of children has access to the same resources in any given year, but whether the system is designed to at least maintain and better yet to increase the percentage over time; (2) Under the Governor's plan, 98% of the children are not really in the equalized system; (3) The Governor's incentive funding favors the wealthy districts over poor districts in two ways: (1) because the incentives are on top of an unequal funding system, the wealthy would have more resources with which to perform, making it more likely that they would win rewards while the poor would not; and (2) the proposed incentives reward districts for student performance, rather than teacher performance, which favors wealthy districts because generally speaking their students walk in the front door better prepared to learn; and (4) The Governor's plan is ultimately a reverse Robin Hood under which the vast majority of ordinary Texans would pay higher state taxes of one sort or another so that a group of wealthy Texans can have better schools and lower local taxes than the rest.

Book Synopsis The Effects of State Funding on Property Tax Rates and School Construction by : Elizabeth Plummer
Download or read book The Effects of State Funding on Property Tax Rates and School Construction written by Elizabeth Plummer and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to concerns over funding for school construction, the state of Texas has implemented two programs to assist school districts with construction related debt. This paper examines whether these programs have accomplished their objectives of reducing property taxes (the EDA program) and increasing capital outlays (the IFA program). I find that school districts receiving EDA funds have reduced their debt tax rates more than non EDA districts, but they have used the opportunity to increase their operating tax rates. Overall, EDA districts have not experienced greater property tax relief. For the IFA program, I find that IFA districts have increased their capital outlays more than non IFA districts. I also examine the IFA program's impact on the equitable distribution of capital outlays. I find that poor school districts have increased capital outlays because of IFA funding, while rich districts have increased capital outlays by increasing tax rates. Middle wealth school districts do not receive significant IFA funding, nor do they have a rich tax base. Therefore, their capital outlays remain essentially unchanged. Overall, capital outlay equity has decreased.

Book Synopsis The Effects of the Texas School Property Tax Abatement Program on Public School Finance by : Megan Ashley Randall
Download or read book The Effects of the Texas School Property Tax Abatement Program on Public School Finance written by Megan Ashley Randall and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report explores the relationship between school property tax abatements, property wealth, and industrial firm siting in Texas. Texas adopted its school property tax abatement program, known as Chapter 313, in 2001. This report employs a mixed-methods approach to evaluate the factors that predict districts’ participation in the Chapter 313 program in Texas, as well as to assess abatements’ effect on industrial firm investment. The study is modeled after an evaluation of the Indiana school property tax abatement program conducted by Dalehite in 2005. Using a quasi-experimental, propensity score matching research design, I find that industrial property wealth predicts abatement program participation throughout the lifespan of the program. A district’s donor status in the state’s redistributive school finance system as well as its urban status predict abatement program participation early in the program’s operation from 2003-2007. Lastly, I find no evidence of a relationship between abatement participation and growth in industrial property values. Findings suggest that some features of the Chapter 313 program may exacerbate inequity and confer a disproportionate share of benefits, such as payments-in-lieu of taxes and state aid subsidies, to property-wealthy districts. Moreover, the state is currently investing billions of dollars into the program without evidence that these investments produce the intended industrial property investment in Texas communities.
Book Synopsis Reinventing Public Education by : Paul Hill
Download or read book Reinventing Public Education written by Paul Hill and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-02-15 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A heated debate is raging over our nation’s public schools and how they should be reformed, with proposals ranging from imposing national standards to replacing public education altogether with a voucher system for private schools. Combining decades of experience in education, the authors propose an innovative approach to solving the problems of our school system and find a middle ground between these extremes. Reinventing Public Education shows how contracting would radically change the way we operate our schools, while keeping them public and accessible to all, and making them better able to meet standards of achievement and equity. Using public funds, local school boards would select private providers to operate individual schools under formal contracts specifying the type and quality of instruction. In a hands-on, concrete fashion, the authors provide a thorough explanation of the pros and cons of school contracting and how it would work in practice. They show how contracting would free local school boards from operating schools so they can focus on improving educational policy; how it would allow parents to choose the best school for their children; and, finally, how it would ensure that schools are held accountable and academic standards are met. While retaining a strong public role in education, contracting enables schools to be more imaginative, adaptable, and suited to the needs of children and families. In presenting an alternative vision for America’s schools, Reinventing Public Education is too important to be ignored.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “An impassioned book, laced with anger and indignation, about how our public education system scorns so many of our children.”—The New York Times Book Review In 1988, Jonathan Kozol set off to spend time with children in the American public education system. For two years, he visited schools in neighborhoods across the country, from Illinois to Washington, D.C., and from New York to San Antonio. He spoke with teachers, principals, superintendents, and, most important, children. What he found was devastating. Not only were schools for rich and poor blatantly unequal, the gulf between the two extremes was widening—and it has widened since. The urban schools he visited were overcrowded and understaffed, and lacked the basic elements of learning—including books and, all too often, classrooms for the students. In Savage Inequalities, Kozol delivers a searing examination of the extremes of wealth and poverty and calls into question the reality of equal opportunity in our nation’s schools. Praise for Savage Inequalities “I was unprepared for the horror and shame I felt. . . . Savage Inequalities is a savage indictment. . . . Everyone should read this important book.”—Robert Wilson, USA Today “Kozol has written a book that must be read by anyone interested in education.”—Elizabeth Duff, Philadelphia Inquirer “The forces of equity have now been joined by a powerful voice. . . . Kozol has written a searing exposé of the extremes of wealth and poverty in America’s school system and the blighting effect on poor children, especially those in cities.”—Emily Mitchell, Time “Easily the most passionate, and certain to be the most passionately debated, book about American education in several years . . . A classic American muckraker with an eloquent prose style, Kozol offers . . . an old-fashioned brand of moral outrage that will affect every reader whose heart has not yet turned to stone.”—Entertainment Weekly
