Education Agency Head Seeks Busing Changes
Texas Education Agency and state education chief seek federal court changes to desegregation orders that could alter busing across many districts. A judge and the Supreme Court have upheld withholding funds and accreditation from districts not eliminating dual systems. TEA argues the ruling rewrites state school law and limits local authority while addressing race based student transfers and bused distances. Separately, hog movement remains banned in several counties after a hog cholera quarantine lift in Jim Wells County.
