Texas Basic Allotment History
Per-student dollar amount in the Texas Foundation School Program formula, set by statute in the Texas Education Code. The basic allotment is the starting point for all school finance calculations and only changes when the legislature passes a bill. Statutory base has held at $6,160 since HB 3 (86th Legislature, 2019). HB 2 (89th Legislature, 2025) adds a temporary $55 per-student Guaranteed Yield Increment for 2025-26 and 2026-27; TEA implementation guidance treats the effective basic allotment as $6,215 for those two school years before it reverts.
