Stop the budget tricks and invest in Texas kids
posted on October 08 - 08:37 AM
It’s been about a month since a state district judge ruled that the Texas school finance system is unconstitutional, saying it’s inadequate, inefficient and inequitable. The ruling came as no surprise to the millions of Texas parents concerned about the quality of their children’s education amid devastating budget cuts.
The most significant budget cuts came in 2011, when the Legislature cut $4 billion from the Foundation School Program and another $1.3 billion in grants. These were cuts that have directly affected school districts across Texas.
