New Texas Education Agency data show Texas public school funding has decreased since 2014, the year Gov. Greg Abbott was elected.
Newly released data from the Texas Education Agency shows inflation-adjusted per-student funding for the state’s public schools has decreased since 2014, belying Gov. Greg Abbott ’s common refrain that he has boosted school funds as the state’s chief executive. The new dataset, published last week as part of an annual report, is important because it gives detailed breakdowns of how much money public schools are getting from different sources.
Gov. Greg Abbott touts ‘all-time high’ in Texas per-student funding, but he’s wrong Last year, Abbott and his staffers used the 2023 version of the TEA report to claim that “per student funding is at all time high” and that “I approved more funding for public schools than any other governor in the history of our state.” But Hearst Newspapers found those numbers had been incorrectly adjusted for high inflation in recent years.
