@BrigLeane What’s the reason behind it? As a reader I would wonder if there was significance behind that each letter meant and what else it corresponds to. If it’s just color for the sake of color, leave it one color.

I need some input! Getting close to finalizing the cover design for my next book - The PLC Dashboard.
Does the ‘PLC’ work better in colors or just blue?
Thoughts/suggestions welcome! Thank you and HNY!

It’s so disingenuous when @TeamBettencourt says he “appropriated 4 billion” for public education as if that gave us one penny. When #txlege appropriates money, but fails to pass a bill giving us the money, IT MEANS NOTHING. @chris_earnest21 @SBISD @jennifer_blaine @SBgrassrooted

Morath claims $7M in “new” funding for @SBISD. The “new” money is really just SBISD keeping a tiny bit more of the taxes we raise locally before we send our recapture payment to Austin which I’ll remind everyone was $80M last year. Our money and other district’s recapture payments then get laundered through the general fund producing a significant portion of the $30+ billion surplus our state government is sitting on. Shameful to have a governor sitting on that money and neglecting TX students and teachers to play political games. @GregAbbott_TX

It has been so disappointing to watch our elected and appointed officials in TX disparage public ed as part of a narrative to push vouchers. As a conservative I feel completely abandoned by republican state leaders. If that weren’t bad enough, elected R’s are not only neglecting conservatives in public ed but they speak down to us with disdain.
This morning our local elected State Board of Education member @willhickman asked Commissioner Morath @MikeMorath about @SBISD budget troubles. I thank Will Hickman for advocating for us.
Morath dismisses our budget crisis as mismanagement of “one-time” federal funds meant to address learning loss due to COVID. In the clip Morath says that unlike most other districts in TX we didn’t understand those were one-time funds. We DID and personally reviewed that with him in Austin. He is lying to distract away from the funding issue we face. It’s lazy and dishonest.
SBISD has already eliminated over $20M in ESSER related supports including 123 positions. We did that LAST SPRING. We spent 65% of those federal $s in the classroom and our improvement in scores since COVID show the money was used effectively.
We now have another $35M to eliminate from our budget which is largely due to inflation and no additional funding. I explained this to Morath in Austin earlier this year and he acknowledged it was a real challenge.

Not a Pre-K program anywhere in the great state of Texas better than @SBISD - we are parent choice every.single.time. Click link & arrow to view- Premier program in Houston! Bring on that $8,000 per student! We win every time! #T24 @LionLanePrek

@TeamBettencourt I’m glad you agree! That’s why @SBISD advocated more flexibility in how we spend our dollars. More control by the state is bad! It also doesn’t allow us to use money to combat the realities of inflation.

Let me get this straight - you are advocating for elected officials to have more control of their jurisdiction's property taxes? Totally agree. Now please return our taxpayers' money and don't collect any more. @TXLege you still have time to be a hero. Florida found a way.

What happens when one taxing unit makes decisions for everyone across the state? Well nothing good happens!! We heard disturbing testimony in my Senate Local Government Committee hearings on PFCs (Public Facility Corporations) from Williamson County Treasurer, Scott Heselmeyer @DSHeselmeyer, who talked about the city of Jarrell not knowing that money was coming off their tax rolls and San Marcos Mayor @janehughson testifying about a luxury apartment complex in Hays county that paid $366,000 in property taxes in 2021. Turned into a PFC, with a 99 year lease, and are claiming a total property tax exemption of $463,000 for 2022. #Txlege needs to stop any taxing unit from ripping a property value off of the tax rolls outside of their jurisdiction without the input of elected officials from those counties & cities. My SB 1546 passed unanimously and is off to the Texas House! #txlege @TPPF

We are not even close to an all-time high in @sbisd or #txed. Funding formulas are still broken and #txlege won’t use excess to increase basic allotment, so I have to figure out how to cut 50M of 340M budget. If I could keep (some) of $84M* recapture that’d help. (*most recent #)
