Abbott Calls for Audit of School District Spending to Protect Taxpayer Dollars
· Texas Border Business
Governor Greg Abbott has called for an audit of local independent school district finances to ensure that taxpayer dollars are effectively used for education. He emphasized the importance of directing the $104.9 billion allocated for K-12 education towards students and teachers, rather than administrative expenses. Abbott has asked Texas Comptroller Don Huffines to review the spending of up to four school districts to verify compliance with legal spending guidelines. The findings are expected by December 31, 2026, to inform potential reforms in the upcoming 90th Legislature.
