I think I understand what you're saying. Is this right?
The formula is such that: 1) a district becomes obligated to contribute to recapture at a certain percentage of taxes assessed, 2) in order to meet their operational needs, larger districts need to collect significantly more than that threshold, and thus 3) there's no way to completely prevent making themselves obligated to contribute to the state. But maybe that doesn't need to be the goal? Maybe the goal should be to factor in the inevitable need for local bonds (we already need them to some extent anyway). So, the district 1) assesses/collects less than what is actual required to meet its operational needs, and 2) knowing that it's going to rely more heavily on local bonds. In that scenario, AISD may only send $500 million to the state instead of a billion. But it could make up the difference with a $500 million bond every year. That would effectively double the amount of local money that AISD could utilize, and it's a net wash to local taxpayers.
Is there some reason that isn't feasible?
