Legislative glitch forces Texas school districts to borrow for payroll
Across Texas frustrated superintendents scramble to cover August payroll after a legislative error delayed $800 million in school funding. Districts like Paris plan to borrow about $1 million, Morgan Rural aims for $140,000, and San Antonio expects $27.5 million from investments with losses up to $15,000. The mistake stems from a 78th Legislature delay order misdating August 2003 instead of 2004, drawing political blame as lawmakers argue over redistricting and a fix remains stalled by Senate Democrats’ walkout in New Mexico.
