school districts

The new Texas Senate Bill 546 requires three-point seat belts on school buses by September 2029. But in less than two months, every Texas school board must report - to the Texas Education Agency - costs needed to comply with the law. For some districts, it could be in the millions.

Attorney General Paxton sent letters to Garland, Northwest, Judson and Liberty Hill ISDs accusing them of using tax dollars to advocate for recent school funding elections, something the districts deny.

State Superintendent Ryan Walters announced a mandate Monday for districts to immediately submit new budgets to pay for all students' school meals.
