Expenditures have gone up this year for Houston ISD in part because enrollment is down more than district leaders anticipated.

Houston ISD Superintendent Mike Miles says ‘criticism’ likely contributed to enrollment decline

HISD’s board of managers last week approved a budget amendment of nearly $125.5 million at the request of Miles, who said about $57 million of that total is local property tax revenue being sent to the state. Texas has a revenue-sharing system for public schools and determines their funding based on average daily attendance.
