In response the UIL does get a minuscule amount from playoffs prior to state games. Once numbers are turned in in October schools have 3 ways to determine their classification. It’s not manipulating the numbers as each student you don’t count cost the district state money in more than one way. Nothing to do with athletics although I would imagine there are districts that do that have fund balances that don’t need funds.
There are larger schools in oil districts and wind farm and solar systems (coast and west texas) who are affected by Robinhood monies that are only tax based. It’s the states way of not having to foot the whole bill for education as it’s mandated in our texas constitution they do rob the rich guy to try and equalize the money per district and it’s distributed to district that can be designated by the robbed district. Robinhood affects fewer districts than in the past. Districts have innovative ways to change Robinhood monies.
Thanks for your understanding on the split and I’ll say equity in education and athletics is not equitable. Money can’t buy either one. It’s dedicated staff teaching dedication and hard work that makes it equitable
