Texas school finance bill raises teachers pay statewide
Governor Dolph Briscoe signed the bill promising a 1400 dollar annual pay raise for teachers to align them with other professionals. The measure lacked funding for districts to cover the new costs, placing the burden on smaller districts like Hitchcock and Santa Fe while wealthier districts like La Marque and Texas City feel less strain. Critics say the bill fails to equalize rich and poor districts and will force boards to seek local funds amid deficits.
