Bill would allow student nonvoting board member in Texas districts
A bill introduced in the 66th Texas Legislature by Rep Irma Rangel would let independent school districts add one nonvoting student to their school boards. If five percent of registered voters petition, a special election among local high school students would choose the student member to serve without affecting quorum. The concept grew from H M King High School in Kingsville after a government class simulation.

Rep. Chase Untermeyer introduced legislation to let local governments replace all or part of the property tax with substitute taxes such as sales gross receipts tobacco alcohol business and store license taxes. Voters in a county or school district would approve the change. The measure says it does not raise taxes or even reduce them, but substitutes one levy for another.
