National Association of State Budget Officers, 2022 State Expenditure Report.

Notes:

1. Small dollar amounts, when rounded, cause an aberration in the percentage increase. In these instances, the actual dollar amounts should be consulted to determine the exact percentage increase.

2. “State funds” refers to general funds plus other state fund spending. State spending from bonds is excluded.

3. “Total funds” refers to funding from all sources — general fund, federal funds, other state funds and bonds. For all states, Medicaid reflects provider taxes, fees, assessments, donations, and local funds in Other State Funds.

Key:

N/A Not available.

Footnotes:

(a)

Federal Funds received directly by local school systems are not reported at state budget level. Totals include capital expenditures.

(b)

The fiscal 2021 increase in Federal Funds is primarily due to one-time funds in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

(c)

For fiscal 2021, substantial growth in education spending is due primarily to a large $600M one-time appropriation for Teachers’ Retirement Fund pensions. For estimated fiscal 2022, the total includes an additional $545.4M transfer to teachers’ pensions per statutory excess reserves calculation.

(d)

The estimated fiscal 2022 federal funds increase is related to additional federal K-12 education funding to address the COVID-19 pandemic. The estimated fiscal 2022 other state funds increase is attributed to a new K-12 funding formula, where certain revenue that was previously generated at the local level and earmarked for K-12 education (e.g., property taxes, Governmental Services Taxes, in-state Local School Support Taxes) are now collected and distributed through the state budget. 

(e)

Employer contributions to current employees’ pensions are not directly appropriated, or fully funded, by the state; however, some of the unrestricted support provided to localities for elementary and secondary education is used to help cover these costs. There are no direct appropriations for employer contributions to health benefits, though it can be assumed that some of the unrestricted support provided for elementary and secondary education is used for these costs.  

(f)

The reason for the difference in federal funding in fiscal 2021 is due to timing of the COVID-19 awards. When Texas reported 2019-2021 NASBO totals it used Legislative Appropriations Request (LAR) figures and those totals did not capture ESSER II and ESSER III awards since the agency was still negotiating the receipt of those funds during its LAR preparation. Reported totals for 2020-2022 are using the agency’s updated IOB figures that include those two awards.
