If you have seen the news recently, you know that much of the talk has been about the cuts to state programs, public education included, that will occur over the next couple of years due to the state's budget shortfall. Many districts are having to make difficult decisions concerning programs and staffing. Thankfully, our district has been prudent and conservative with our funds and have been able to run efficiently with less. In fact, our district was in the top 4% of schools in Texas based upon getting the "most bang for the buck" according to the Comptroller's Financial Allocation Study of Texas (FAST) report. Our district received the highest rating of 5 stars.
I invite everyone to view an article that I wrote about the current school finance system and the effects that this system has upon Harleton ISD. It is very interesting, and I feel that all taxpayers need to know about these issues. The article can be found on the Harleton ISD website at www.harletonisd.net.
