Which has the most funds available?

In comparing the available funds of District 1 and
District 2, District 2 has more funds available for Maintenance and Operations.
The money in I&S is used for this purpose and is generated based on
specialized local taxes. District 1 has very little money in the I&S
collections and; therefore, needs help from the state through Chapter 46.
District 2 with nearly $9 million from I&S would be expected to have
newer/updated facilities. It is true that the most valuable educational
resources are our teachers and provide the greatest impact and inspiration, but
the physical environment also plays an important role as well. The Superintendents of both districts should
strive to ensure safety for all students and provide curriculum and instruction
opportunities that afford their students 21st century learning.
