The future success of our state is dependent on our success in public education. Texas faces few more urgent challenges than educating our students in order to prepare them for life in a global economy and to do that properly we need to make sure our schools have they resources they need.
If we are going to make a real difference for the future of Texas we have to be willing to make a commitment to invest in our schools and in our students and follow through with that commitment.
We cannot continue to demand more of our schools in the form of our school accountability system while providing less in the way of resources to meet those standards.
While the Permanent School Fund is not able to provide us with the resources to cover the cost of textbooks we should utilize the stimulus money to cover the costs.
Many of our leaders say that the education of children of this state are their top priority and I hope that their actions this session will match their words said Senator Van de Putte.
