From the article:
Texas has a historic budget surplus this year due to oil prices, inflation, and other factors driving economic growth.
The state is projected to have $188.2 billion available in general revenue for funding the business of the state over the 2024–2025 period, a surplus of $32.7 billion over spending during the previous two years.
If that is true then why is our school district short on money:

The government shouldn't go out and find new uses for these new tax dollars, it should pay of it's debt and help out the local governments.
