Impact of New Laws On Local Education And Tax Burden
An editorial notes the 60th Texas Legislature will raise teacher pay, but districts expect an 80 20 funding split and tax bill increases from 5 000 to 10 000 for Stamford. It mentions redistricting debates, water safety acts, and a looming special session as new taxes loom. Community efforts include fundraising for Wichita Falls State Hospital patients and a brief historical review of Selden’s automobile patent.
