Two North Texas school districts are pushing back on the state's recapture law, saying the funds should instead go to support local students. In a 5-1 vote during a special meeting Monday night , Keller ISD's school board voted to stop paying recapture money to the state next year. Also on Monday, Carroll ISD's board discussed doing the same. Under recapture, also known as Robin Hood, property-wealthy districts — such as Keller, Carroll, Plano and Dallas — are required to send excess property tax revenue to the state, which distributes it property-poor districts.
