It is the ISD model where the districts are run independently of the city government.

Texas didn't really intentionally do this. If I remember correctly the legislature wanted valuable land in east Texas which they took from the university system. In exchange, they gave them millions of (at the time) worthless acres out in West Texas. This was put in the state Constitution back in the late 1800's. Some 50 years later oil was discovered on the land and the university system ended up with one huge arse endowment fund.
From what I understand legislature took some land for the railroad but also returned a significant amount. The key is when they did find the oil rather than dip their hands in the piggy bank and getting a sweetheart deal on some valuble oil land-they made it to where they couldnt sell off the land AND made sure the funds received from mineral rights went into the PUF so they didnt spend it all right away.
OTOH Louisiana made it to where the only parts of the budget that can be cut are higher education and healthcare can be cut.

They have 2nd most population.
Should be top 4, even if Florida, NY and California are judging this beauty contest.

$80 billion invested in education by the legislature,
The Texas Legislature has reduced funding for public schools over the last 10 or 15 years. The top public schools are generally magnets that accept the top students or schools in wealthy areas.

Starting teacher salary in Cy-Fair ISD is $53K with BS. EBR $44,500.00 with a BA degree,$48,400.00 with a PHD.
Starting salaries are high in Texas but you will not make much more over your career. My wife has been teaching 20 years and makes a couple thousand more than starting teachers.

I guess one should expect one of the most populated states to have more of something....
