Relating to the basic allotment, school safety allotment, and guaranteed yield under the Foundation School Program, including an adjustment in those amounts to reflect inflation.

HB 2509 adjusts Texas public school funding under the Foundation School Program to account for inflation. It requires annual increases to the basic allotment ($7,660 per student), school safety allotment ($40 per student plus $45,000 per campus), and guaranteed yield amounts starting in the 2026-2027 school year. The adjustments will be calculated using the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, as tracked by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This change directly affects all Texas public school districts receiving funding through the Foundation School Program. The bill does not alter current base funding levels but ensures they grow with inflation each year.
