The layoffs in schools have already begun! It is extremely sad but very true. With the states; proposed budget bill it could possibly free up more than $800 million in federal education money. The government needs to worry about the children’s future... they are the ones going to be eventually running it.
This budget bill would remove an amendment made by Lloyd Doggett that would make Governor Rick Perry use the money to enhance the schools existing spending. Congressman Doggett doesn’t want the money to be used to replace the existing funding, but to use it as extra money for the children’s education. Which everyone can see it is much needed now... not later. The taxpayers do their share and should be able to use the money when it is needed especially with education. It is said by the states House budget bill that school are underfunded around 7 billion dollars! So the $800 million could defiantly help out now. Some Texas schools are worried about the restrictions that will come along with the money, but knowing that it could help put the kid’s first and help stop the eliminating of jobs in the Education field makes it worth it. The states Senate is coming up with its own version of the budget bill. As far as all other states none of them are faced with this amendment. Even though repealing it has been popular with our Texas Republicans we have to do it for the future.
