Hard facts: State spending per student (in blue) is roughly the same today as it was in 2008. Adjusted for inflation, the state is spending less. This as your property tax share (in orange) has steadily gone up. #txed #txlegepic.twitter.com/fHaqNlLRwd

Again, the numbers: LBB & TEA calculations both show state share of funding has declined over the past decade.

Not obvious here is the corruption of LOCAL ISD Taxes! Over past 40 yr period, PER STATE LAWs, ISDs are taking in apx the same RATE of taxes. The difference is the % of amount that is STOLEN by
#TxLege. In 1979, no@AustinISD $ to Tx. In 2019, HALF of Local $ Going to TxLege!

Look at the data yourself. That website goes back to 2011-12. The pie chart above looks the same. Going out one decimal place, 1.1%, versus 1.2%. You can also look at charter schools specifically, which have grown rapidly in that timeframe.

Pie chart shows
#txlege can't fix massive school underfunding by reducing superintendents' salaries (1% of payroll). But, here's a statewide graph. "Exploded" is in the eye of the beholder, obviously; the 6-yr increase for inflation-adjusted superintendent/charter CEO pay is 8%.pic.twitter.com/eyDJjHYuwQ
