Cypress-Fairbanks ISD has consistently earned top marks for achievement and financial integrity for more than two decades. In spite of this stability of success, the district’s budget faces a staggering $138 million deficit. The situation in CFISD is not unique, as school districts across Texas grapple with funding shortfalls threatening the quality of education they can provide to students.
It’s unconscionable Texas currently sits on a surplus of billions of dollars, yet our public schools are left scrambling, struggling to survive. There is no excuse for the dire financial straits facing districts like CFISD, with an unspent budget of $5 billion allocated for public schools and a projected surplus set to grow even further. Funding for education is available; what’s lacking is political will.
I know firsthand the power of quality education as a graduate of CFISD. As an elementary, middle, and high school graduate in this district, it was what fueled me. And now, other students may not have the ability to live the experience I once had. In these times, more than ever, it’s imperative our elected officials be held accountable and act.
