Texas public schools are funded through a blend of local, state, and federal dollars—each playing a unique role in supporting student success.
Local funds come primarily from property taxes.
State funds are calculated on our students’ attendance using the state’s per student Basic Allotment. The district receives additional funds for certain programs like Career and Technical Education (CTE) and services for at-risk students.
Federal funds vary by district and in CISD, these funds make up the smallest piece of the pie and are targeted to support special education services.

Financiando el Viaje
Las escuelas públicas de Texas se financian mediante una combinación de fondos locales, estatales y federales, cada uno desempeñando un papel importante en el éxito estudiantil.
Los fondos locales provienen principalmente de los impuestos sobre la propiedad.
Los fondos estatales se calculan con base en la asistencia de los estudiantes, utilizando la Asignación Básica por Estudiante establecida por el estado. El distrito también recibe recursos adicionales para ciertos programas, como Educación Técnica y Profesional (CTE, por sus siglas en inglés) y servicios para estudiantes en situación de riesgo.
Los fondos federales varían según el distrito y, en el caso de CISD, representan la porción más pequeña del financiamiento. Estos recursos están destinados principalmente a apoyar los servicios de educación especial.
