Correction, March 24, 2022 1:35 pm: An earlier version of this column incorrectly described the source of $5.6 billion in local property tax funds used by the state to finance public education. That money is redistributed by the state from districts with high per-student property values to districts with lower values. It is not directly tied to increases in local market values of properties.

Correction, Feb. 9, 2022 3:09 pm: A previous version of this article provided incorrect details about the shooting at First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs on Nov. 5, 2017. Devin Patrick Kelley fired 450 rounds, he did not open fire on 450 people. The gunman used a semi-automatic rifle, not an assault rifle. Two men who pursued the gunman chased him as he fled the scene; they did not chase him from the church.
