Fund Freeze Plan Criticized in Texas Education Budget
North East School District Superintendent Fitzwater warns a House Appropriations Committee plan to freeze special education funding will cut 7050 teacher units and reduce operating funds. The proposal, totaling 702 million in public education, would delay 1000 new teachers and force districts to absorb 1900 preschool and program costs. Edgewood District also faces adverse effects from the freeze.
