Does TIF take away tax revenues from the school districts?
 
  No. School districts continue to receive all of the tax revenue that they received before approval of a TIF redevelopment plan and projects. TIF uses only those incremental tax revenues that exist because of the new project(s) enabled by the TIF assistance. Also, most school districts are protected from the impacts of TIF-enabled growth by the state's school district funding formula. The school districts state aid is based upon a formula which incorporates the amount of ad valorem tax received and is raised or lowered in an inverse relationship to a decrease or increase in the ad valorem tax revenue received, the creation of a TIF project area is actually revenue neutral to most of the school districts.
