This blog on Texas education contains posts on accountability, testing, K-12 education, postsecondary educational attainment, dropouts, bilingual education, immigration, school finance, environmental issues, Ethnic Studies at state and national levels. It also represents my digital footprint, of life and career, as a community-engaged scholar in the College of Education at the University of Texas at Austin.
Check out how FL finances education. FL like TX has no state income tax, yet on equivilent residential housing assessments, school taxes are approximately 75% lower in FL; and yet FL is rated much higher than TX. How can that be? It is time to recognize the Robin Hood Law as just another property tax on already burdened taxpayers. It's time for resolution. Suggest TX look to other state models.
