💡 Why donate to EEF when our property taxes pay 💡 Why donate to EEF when our property taxes pay for our schools? 📚 Texas public schools are funded by a complex combination of state and local funding, including local property taxes. However, some of those local property taxes leave property-wealthy districts under state "recapture". 9️⃣5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ In Eanes ISD, approximately 60% - that's $95,000,000 - is taken by the state to pay for other legislative priorities, which can include non-educational matters. This means a majority of our property taxes do not pay for our district schools. ✍ Remaining property tax revenue is added to any in-district state funds but can only be used for "maintenance & operations" matters like student services, facility maintenance & operation, and educator salaries. A school district can gain voter approval for additional "I&S" (debt service) revenue to fund new facilities or renovations. 💯 In contrast to local property tax revenue, 100% of your EEF donations stay in Eanes ISD. 100% of those donations fund educator salaries. 🔢 The Eanes ISD @eanesisd budget line item #5744 (revenue) + line item #6100 (expenditures) specifically notes, "EEF donations are designated for the sole purpose of supporting teacher salaries on all campuses, including positions not required by the State of Texas." 🤝 Given this complicated state + local property tax funding structure, your EEF donations are vital to Eanes ISD's ability to pay educator salaries. 👂 Stay tuned for more details about how Texas public schools are funded and your important role in sustaining Eanes excellence . . . #WeFundTeachers #PublicSchools #SupportPublicSchools #EmpowerEanes #EanesISD
☀️ School’s out, but our gratitude is still ☀️ School’s out, but our gratitude is still in session! Today we’re celebrating Rebecca Reichle, @hcmscougars_eanes @eanesisd Math 7 & Algebra I teacher! Ms. Reichle just completed her first year at Hill Country, having moved from her home state of North Carolina last July. With four years of prior experience teaching math in Raleigh, she brings warmth, skill, and heart to her classroom, creating a caring environment where students feel seen, supported, and ready to succeed. We appreciate you, Ms. Reichle! #wefundteachers #eanesisd #westlake #mathteacher #honorateacher

In addition to thanking returning Special Education Teaching Assistants of 3+ years with a meaningful show of appreciation, the first-ever SEE Fund disbursement also supported professional development opportunities and funded new Unified Softball uniforms, expanding impact across our @eanesisd @eisdse community. These gifts were made possible thanks to the generosity of SEE Fund donors and the thoughtful stewardship of the Curry family and Eanes Endowment Board.
