Trustees approve bond sale and school payment delay
Crosby trustees approve a bond sale while GA Hendrix notes. The Legislature delayed Foundation School Program payments to public schools from August to September, shifting cash needs to a different fiscal year. An $800 million delay was enacted as a one time saving, effective August 2003, risking late bills and possible teacher salary gaps across Texas districts. The comptroller calls the mistake clerical, while the governor's office disputes that label.
