A filed Texas bill would raise the basic funding allotment for public schools, including districts serving Comal County students, if lawmakers pass it. HB 178 was filed Nov. 9, and its higher funding level remains a proposal.
The Texas Education Agency lists Comal ISD and New Braunfels ISD as active districts in Comal County. The basic allotment is part of the state school finance system, so a change to that amount would matter to both districts' budgets.
