House Speaker Tom Craddick expanded the Select Committee on Public School Finance to 29 members with eight subcommittees to study tax and school finance mechanisms. An executive panel of six lawmakers, six senators, and four public members will lead the study as Gov Perry signals a possible special session in fall or next year.
