Texas educators link school underfunding to rising property taxes

In Texas, public school advocates are arguing that state underfunding of schools and the diversion of money to private school vouchers push the tax burden onto homeowners through local property taxes. They say raising the basic allotment and directing the state budget surplus into public schools would be the most direct way to bring property taxes down.
Why now: Debate over school funding, vouchers and property taxes is active in Texas as lawmakers weigh how to use the state surplus.
