League backs cutting elective funds to boost elementary academics
The Texas Research League president Dr. Jared Hazleton urged reducing high school elective spending and redirecting funds to elementary education. An analysis of 19 Texas districts shows required academic courses cost about 183 dollars per student contact, while electives run 235 dollars, with remedial programs absorbing much high school spending. Hazleton warned scarce resources may force trimming the broad elective menu to improve early schooling.
