About
2013 was the inaugural year of the Dragon Classic. Organized by the Dragon Classic Committee, the tournament has grown into the premier event for Carroll Alumni. Now run by Alumni Robert Clayton ('00) & Isaac Gregory ('96) and the Dragon Classic Team, Carroll ISD is a property-wealthy, Chapter 41 (Robin Hood) district. This means that the school funding formula caps the amount of property value tax collections that Carroll ISD is able to retain for expenses. From 2001 to the 2019-2020 budget, Carroll ISD's total recapture payments back to the State to fund less affluent districts totals $30+ million per year.

Carroll ISD is a property-wealthy, Chapter 41 (Robin Hood) district. This means that the school funding formula caps the amount of property value tax collections that Carroll ISD can keep on the M&O side of the budget. Any value increases above the state-set cap, do not go to benefit Carroll ISD’s M&O budget.
In addition to your school taxes, which is the largest part of your local bill, you pay county, city, hospital and college district taxes. Each entity sets a local tax rate that is applied to your home value. For instance, Carroll ISD’s M&O tax rate of $1.04 per $100 assessed valuation, is added to the I&S tax rate of $.35 per $100 assessed valuation, to create a $1.39 total school tax rate.
School districts that are property-wealthy like Carroll, must surrender taxes collected on the M&O budget to property-poor districts.
Under the current school finance formula, CISD estimates to pay $19 million as part of the Robin Hood recapture payment in 2016-2017.
For an average-valued home, the total property tax bill for 2017 was $8,355; the state keeps $29.9% to redistribute to other school districts.
Because of Robin Hood, Carroll ISD keeps $5,857 and $2,498 is recaptured; in the future, if property values grow, CISD does not get to keep the additional taxes collected on the M&O budget; CISD only keeps the I&S tax collections, which helps pay for new debt.
From 2001 to the current budget, Carroll ISD’s total Chapter 41 Robin Hood recapture payments have been $215 million. Despite state funding cuts and deficit budgets, the district has been able to give 3 percent raises and manage through growth using short-term portable building options.
