TEXAS TO FULLY FUND SCHOOL DISTRICTS

Texas will fully fund school districts that have seen student attendance drop during the pandemic so long as they maintain or increase the rate of students learning in person. Texas funds its public schools based on the number of students who attend (in person or virtually) so this is news that school superintendents have been waiting for months! Great news for our schools!
