Interest groups

Opponents

Those thinking about the future consequences

Less money invested means less money being made in revenue.

This policy will result in lower schools funding in the long term because there will be less money left for investments.

General Land Office

The State Board of Education will distribute less money to the Available School Fund, due to less money being in the Permanent School Fund.

The General Land Office will be contributing more to the Available School Fund than the School Board of Education.

Supporters

Public Schools wanting more funding

The State Board of Education and General Land Office could donate more of the money that they receive from the Permanent School Fund investments to the Available School Fund.

Improved funding for public schools when enough money is available.

School Board of Education

This policy will make the General Land Office and State Board of Education work together, resulting in more funding for schools and better relations between the organizations.

The General Land Office's land investments in the Permanent School Fund are making more money than the current $3 million amount that is available to the Available School Fund.
