Gov. Greg Abbott demands Cy-Fair ISD cancel Islamic Games event: ‘Not welcome in Texas’

January 2108:46 AM
 

Gov. Greg Abbott sent a letter to Cy-Fair ISD leaders Wednesday demanding that they cancel a sporting event with the Islamic Games of North America scheduled for later this year, citing alleged ties to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which Abbott recently declared a "foreign terrorist organization."   "You cannot invite such dangers through the front doors of our schools," he wrote. "Radical Islamic extremism is not welcome in Texas — and certainly not in our schools."  The move comes after the Dallas-area Grapevine-Colleyville ISD canceled a similar event on Tuesday, saying that they had learned that CAIR New Jersey was a sponsor of a related event at one point, according to news reports.  view article  arw

Thousands of Students Zoned to Dallas ISD Have Applied for Private School Vouchers

March 1208:31 AM
 

A program that grants taxpayer-funded stipends to families looking to send their children to private schools is expected to reach capacity in its first year, says acting Texas Comptroller Kelly Hancock. Gov. Greg Abbott has long championed the “school choice” policy, which finally passed through the Legislature last summer after failing in the 2023 session. Critics have argued that the initiative will draw students away from public schools, which are already struggling to maintain class sizes. Because state funding for public schools is determined by attendance, opponents of the voucher system have warned that the stipends will undermine public education by diverting funds from the school districts that serve the majority of Texas children. view article  arw

Confusion over the program’s special education requirements is making it difficult for families to meet a looming deadline — and creating more work for Texas school districts.  Henry Herzog struggles with ADHD, anxiety and hypersensitivity to crowds and noise.
