Abstract: This study assesses the funding differences between charter schools and traditional districts in Texas. The researchers find that on average, in 2003-04, charters received $8,098 per-student compared with $8,712 for traditional districts, a gap of $614. The lack of debt service revenue for charter school facilities accounted for most of the per-pupil revenue difference between charters and traditional districts.
