Texas House panel backs school finance plan for 3 billion boost
A Texas House committee approved a school finance bill that would add 3 billion dollars to the state system, clearing the way for full House debate next week. The measure faces stiff opposition from major education groups who say the funds are insufficient amid inflation and new mandates. The bill would cap Robin Hood transfers at 35 percent over three years, restore funding for at risk and bilingual students, and create a teacher incentive program tied to student performance without a mandatory pay raise.
