Legislature Final School Bill Probed in Texas Session
In Austin on May 30 the final Gilmer-Aikin school reform bill structured as S B 116 moved to be debated tomorrow after a conference rewrite by Sen. Ottis Lock. Jim Taylor said the report keeps all vital House amendments and only changes the $2400 minimum teacher salary and transportation aid to aid sparse districts. The administration envisions state auditor oversight until a new education commissioner is named. Budget concerns loom as the 51st Legislature nears 20th week, with expected revenue gaps suggesting possible tax measures. Heavy committee workload continues with highway topics and insurance bills on the agenda.
