TEA Releases Financial Accountability Ratings
More than four-fifths of Texas public schools received an ‘A’ rating for their financial practices, according to the Texas Education Agency, which released the final financial accountability ratings for the latest school year last week.A total of 969 school districts and charter schools, or 81%, received the top rating for their financial management practices.“By maintaining strong financial practices, these school systems are building brighter futures for the students and communities they serve,” a news release stated.Ten percent of school districts got ‘B’ ratings, while 6% received ‘C’ ratings. Failing grades were given to 18 school districts and eight charter schools.All Texas public school systems are required to share their financial accountability ratings with parents and taxpayers at public meetings. Individual results for a school district can be found at txschools.gov.
Stopping the Culture of Death from Crossing Our Borders
As a mom and now a grandmother, I can’t look at a newborn child—tiny fingers, soft breaths, a life full of promise—without seeing the hand of God. Every baby is a miracle, created with purpose and deserving protection. And every mother deserves compassion and support. That belief isn’t political for me. It’s personal. It’s why I’m proud to live in Texas, the most pro-life state in the nation—a place where we honor both the unborn and the women carrying them. But the culture of death never rests. The proabortion movement never sleeps. If they are relentless in their mission to end life, then we must be relentless in defending it. Out-of-state abortion-pill traffickers are targeting Texas women and trying to undermine our laws—and that is exactly why we must stay vigilant.
