This week’s Last Word examines Texas’ growing education funding crisis. Despite a record state budget surplus, public schools—especially in San Antonio—are being left behind. Lawmakers continue to prioritize political battles over solutions, and the result? Underfunded classrooms, underpaid teachers, and increasing pressure on local school districts to do more with less.
Bob breaks down the legal and moral responsibility Texas has to fund its schools, the ongoing standoff in Austin, and what it means for students, parents, and educators in San Antonio.
With public education at a crossroads, now is the time to ask: Will Texas finally step up, or will politics once again leave our schools behind?
Tune in for a sharp commentary on education, leadership, and the future of Texas schools.
