The largest proposed change may be an education overhaul which could impact every school district in the state.
Tuesday was the first day Texas lawmakers could file proposals to change Texas law. Hundreds of bills were filed by state lawmakers ahead of the January legislative session.
Last year, Abbott's proposal included billions more in public school funding along with a school choice program. His allies in the legislature will soon outline the specifics of their proposals. Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, the leader of the Texas Senate which has consistently passed"school choice" bills over to the Texas House, has asked the governor to declare it an emergency item.
“There’s a way that everyone can win but both sides are going to have to give and take a little bit in order to prepare children. Not necessarily saving systems," said Collins.“Just like you all in your homes. All of your home costs and going up and so are ours," Celina ISD Superintendent Tom Maglisceau told NBC 5.
“It could include another school being closed or program consolidations. That most likely includes some staffing adjustments," Coppell ISD Superintendent Brad Hunt told NBC 5.
