Make the Teacher Retirement System Fair to All Public Schools
Achieve Clarity and Parity in the Education Code
Why It's Important
The Teacher Retirement System is requiring public charter schools and some Districts of Innovation to make employer contributions above and beyond what is required of traditional ISDs.
Why We Need To Talk About It
Update statute to ensure the Teacher Retirement System treats all public schools, including public charter schools and Districts of Innovation, equally. This would keep $8.7 million in public charter school classrooms.
Parts of the education code are unclear in ways that disadvantage public charter schools or create overly burdensome requirements.
Why We Need To Talk About It
Adjust the law in specific areas so that public charter schools have parity with ISDs (such as being able to designate crossing guards) and do not face unnecessary red tape.

Close The Funding Gap
The Problem
Texas public charter schools receive an average of $1,278 less than ISDs in per pupil funding. Unequal facilities funding drives the difference.
The Solution
Close the gap by making facilities funding more fair.
