Existing Debt Allotment (EDA) Program
Created by the Texas Legislature in 1999, the EDA program provides tax rate equalization for local debt service taxes. By providing a guaranteed yield on interest and sinking fund (I&S) taxes levied by school districts to pay the principal of and interest on eligible bonds, the program guarantees a specific amount of state and local funds per student for each cent of tax effort up to $0.29 per $100 of assessed valuation. Currently, the guaranteed yield for EDA provides $35 per student in average daily attendance (ADA) per penny of tax effort.
The program operates without applications and has no award cycles.
