A Growing Public Education Financial Crisis...

Today, an alarming number of Texas school districts are facing a growing financial crisis. In 2006, legislators implemented a school finance system that has proven to fall short of properly working. An increasing number of districts are now forced to use dollars from their fund balance for daily operating expenditures. In addition, teaching positions are being eliminated, salaries reduced and local educational programs removed to meet tight budgets.

The 2007 and 2009 legislative sessions failed to address the funding system's shortcomings. A Fear exists that the topic of school finance will meet the same fate during the 2011 session. To make sure this topic is addressed, a collective sense of educational priority must be found among us, our local communities and respected legislative leaders.

With our Legislators, you and I ... "we"

Together - "we" can build this needed sense of priority. Respectfully, we can practice democracy by coming together to create one unified voice - one message ... "Make Education a Priority"

As school board trustees, we have a unique opportunity to accomplish what has never been accomplished before. During these difficult economic times, a shared priority with our respected legislators becomes vital. Without such a foundation, solutions to the difficult topic of school finance will never be found.

Join us as we support our legislators and ask them to come together with a renewed sense of priority. A successful resolution campaign will unify our message. Your district's adopted resolution is needed. This website will show you how.
