to Galveston public school
districts tax base, the dis.
trict might start the 2009-
10 school year with a $4 ■
million surplus —- without
raising its tax rate.
The district is planning
to spend 21 percent less
next year but will receive
the same amount of state
revenue, leading to predic-
tions the district will start
off with a surplus.
The good news is
because of the Texas
Legislature, Which
approved House Bill 4102
The legislation ensures
school districts hit by dis-
asters will receive the same
amount of state funding
they would have received
before the disaster.
