Senator Schwertner and Representative Kacal on Texas School Finance

The Texas school finance formula has again been declared unconstitutional.

Brazos County state senator Charles Schwertner says it wasn’t unexpected and he doesn’t anticipate a quick resolution to school finance when lawmakers return next year.

With the state collecting more money, Schwertner says the competition for those dollars includes keeping the economic momentum going, criminal justice, health care, highways, and water.

State representative Kyle Kacal, whose district goes from College Station to north of Waco, has to balance the interests of 32 ISD’s.
