A Financial Crossroad

Spring Branch ISD is facing a financial crossroad.

This year, SBISD estimates our taxpayers will write checks totaling an additional $29 million in taxes. Click here to download a copy of the 2016 Letter to Taxpayers. At the same time, the district anticipates a recapture (Robin Hood) payment of $66 million this year, or nearly 17 percent of your locally generated tax revenue. That means a taxpayer who owns a home valued at $500,000 will pay $889 in recapture to the State. Click here to read more >>

We invite you to take a moment to watch this informative video presentation outlining the challenges created by the current school funding model.
