Which term describes funding for debt service on instructional facilities construction?

• A. Local Fund Assignment
• B. Instructional Facilities Allotment
• C. Maintenance of Effort
• D. Mathematics Instructional Coaches Pilot Program

Answer: (B)

The main idea is a specific funding stream set aside to cover the payments on bonds issued to build or renovate instructional facilities. In Texas school finance, the Instructional Facilities Allotment provides funds to pay the debt service—principal and interest—for bonds used to finance instructional facilities construction. This helps districts meet long‑term financing obligations without diverting other essential dollars from classrooms.

The other options don’t fit this purpose: Local Fund Assignment relates to general local fund allocations, Maintenance of Effort concerns keeping local spending above a required level for certain programs, and the Mathematics Instructional Coaches Pilot Program is a targeted initiative for coaching staff.
