Financial Transparency
We know that school funding can be confusing. Allen ISD, like all districts in the State of Texas, receives its funding from a combination of resources from the State of Texas, and a percentage of local taxes from homeowners.Since Allen ISD has a Bond Election on the ballot in November, this felt like a great time to sit down with our district experts on Finance and explain how Allen ISD remains fiscally responsible and transparent with taxpayers' dollars.
