SUPPORT HYER
Why We Fundraise
Close to 70% of every property tax dollar in HPISD is "recaptured" by the State of Texas to be distributed to property-poor school districts. As a result, HPISD faces a $7 million budget gap each year. Specifically, Hyer faces a shortfall of $650,000. Hyer has fewer state funds per student, and our teachers makes less compared to many neighboring school districts. Each year, the PTA's fundraising events and programs make up this deficit. It along with our community's commitment to educate plays a crucial role in ensuring that Hyer can maintain its excellence in education and can continue to attract the best and brightest teachers!
​
Where the Money Goes
For the 2024-2025 school year, the Hyer PTA gifted over $750,000 back to Hyer and HPISD. This is only made possible through the generosity of our donors: corporate sponsors and families through our family underwriting campaign and fundraising events (like Read on Hyer, Carnival, etc.)
