Fund the educational institution v. funding the child's education

Dilemma!

This actually is a property tax problem. See most governmental entities are not jumping on board the taxpayer ship with regards to creeping appraised values which generate more governmental tax revenue. It is not only about the tax rate you see, for the appraisal can do just as much if not more damage to your pocketbook.

Texans across the state are concerned about property taxes. They are concerned about creeping appraisal values as well as the use of taxpayer dollars by school, county, and municipal entities to lobby legislators. The legislature tried to rein in property taxes; however, school property tax rates across the state continue to climb. Local spending limits are needed to protect those previously granted property tax savings. Also, the legislation is needed to eliminate lobbying and advocacy work financed with taxpayer dollars and to prohibit tax dollars from being used to sue the state for more tax dollars.

Review what your local school district is spending on education expenses and overhead expenses at the Texas Education Agency's website. They provide a snapshot of every district in this state.

Don't let these governmental entities get the upper hand - FIGHT and lobby your own legislator for more control over your hard earned money.
