SAN ANTONIO — Governor Greg Abbott has notified the Texas Legislature a special session will start Monday, saying multiple times that public education would be the focus.
"Let's be very clear about this: You can't pay for vouchers, charters and public schools without it hurting all of those entities, actually—especially public schools," she said. "This special session, there should be about pay raises in order to retain and attract quality educators into the classroom," Longoria said."And it should also be about raising the basic allotment to put more money into our public school system.""I think that we need to stand up and support public education, i.e. fund teacher compensation, so that we can better recruit and of course retain our high quality educators," he said.
"It's going to largely benefit a more affluent, homogeneous family unit," he said."Particularly if the privatization is pushed towards parochial or religious affiliated schools."
