Plano has given $1.2 billion in property tax revenue to other school districts through Texas's "[[Robin Hood plan|Robin Hood]]" law, which requires school districts designated as affluent to give a percentage of their property tax revenue to other districts outside the county.<ref name="PISD2008" /> In 2008, PISD gave $86 million. Controversy erupted when the salaries of teachers in less affluent districts—such as [[Garland ISD]]—exceeded the salaries of teachers in districts that had to pay into "Robin Hood".<ref>[http://www.dallasnews.com/news/education/headlines/20100328-Plano-ISD-mutes-criticism-of-1631.ece Plano ISD mutes criticism of 'Robin Hood' as its annual funding hit declines | The Dallas Morning News].
