Who will be mourning his loss? The Mayans or the Aztecs, I get them confused

What is stopping you from that? Have you checked to see if your desired school district is open enrollment? Are private schools not accepting your applications? Do you want a voucher system? I can get on board with a system that moves money between public schools. It is a strong hell no if you are trying to take public funds and give them to a private school. Every proposed version from pro voucher Texas politicians this past session was written in a way to be a straight money grab by private schools and fuck over public ed. Oversee federal laws related to protected students such as special education, 504, students who are homeless etc. To fund school/establish guidelines for schools who receive federal funding for programs such as Title I. Not well. Let’s start with funding school funding. The recapture system is broken and fucks over more and more school districts every year. Austin ISD sent back 850 million last year yet they have to operate at a deficit. Total money sent back last year was almost 5 billion. Why does our state not address the issue? Because this recaptured money does not have to go back to schools. It goes back in the states the general fund and can be used for anything. I hope now families/voters in districts it is hitting who in the years past may have been rural (before sprawl) and even may have received some recaptured money will take notice and voice their complaints or vote for politicians who will tackle the issue. Curriculum has plenty of issues and subcategories (banned books) but I don’t have the mental bandwidth tonight to dive deeper I do believe there needs to be some sort of assessment for student academic levels but I prefer it been done at the local and not necessarily based on STAAR. If I am breaking the rules of this thread then neg me. When I read some of the talking points on education my soapbox gets out. I think the system needs to have accountability and improve in certain areas but many of the solutions come from misinformation or wrong assumptions

Definitely describes Elon’s version of Twitter.

At a middle school football game, woman is outside the entrance gate sitting in a golf cart with big Trump flag flying on the back. I can’t stand the attention seeking idiots but wtf are you doing that at a middle school football game for?!

Voted at the Wilco annex in Georgetown. Took about 10 minutes.

Good value. Hopefully he makes a leap with more minutes and it becomes great value.

The flight crew returned to DKR and was shown on the big screen in the second half. I’m curious what the logistics of that process is. Did they return to Dyess and take a helicopter ride back?

Fuck that

What does the conference do with this money? Who benefits from the 250k?

Bringing three with me. Trying to explain it’s a tailgate with strangers from the internet has brought much skepticism.
