Financial Summary

Mission CISD relies predominantly on state and local funding, complemented by federal programs to support its educational initiatives. The Texas Foundation School Program (FSP) forms the backbone of state funding, allocating financial resources per student with additional support for specific needs. This allocation is determined through a formula that considers enrollment, property values, and student demographics.

 

Local funding is derived from district property taxes, which fluctuate based on property values. Each district has the autonomy to set its tax rate within state restrictions. Additionally, federal sources, including grants and Title I, contribute supplemental funding, particularly benefiting schools with higher percentages of low-income students.

 

The per-student funding at Mission CISD is intricately tied to the district's budget, enrollment figures, and demographics. It is important to note that funding per student can significantly vary among Texas districts due to differences in property values, demographics, and local tax rates.

 

Mission CISD's funding structure is multifaceted, drawing from state, local, and federal sources. The per-student funding is influenced by a combination of factors, reflecting the district's commitment to providing quality education tailored to the needs of its diverse student population.
