SUPPORT HYER
Why We Fundraise
Almost 70% of HPISD tax dollars are recaptured by the state of Texas and redistributed to lower income districts each year. HPISD is left with a $7 to $8 million gap in funding with fewer funds per student as compared to neighboring districts that are not subject to recapture. As a result, the Hyer Parent Teacher Association (PTA) must rely on corporate sponsorships and family contributions to help bridge the funding gap so that Hyer can continue its long-standing tradition of providing unique academic opportunities and exceptional programs to our students.
Where the Money Goes
For this school year, the Hyer PTA seeks to raise at least $800,000 through family contributions and community business partnerships. Any funds raised beyond our $800,000 goal will go directly toward fulfilling special requests from our dedicated staff--providing everything from curriculum enhancements and classroom library books to new playground equipment, STEM resources and art materials.
Opportunities to Support Hyer
The PTA greatly appreciates the generosity of our corporate sponsors and families as we work to raise $800,000 annually through various fundraising efforts, events and community programs. Please consider how you can SUPPORT HYER!
