Texas education

The Waco school district is one of the latest to partner with the Third Future charter network as a last-ditch effort to stave off state intervention.

The state’s higher education agency recommends Texas lawmakers revamp funding for public universities that rewards schools for student success.

Faculty groups say the Texas Tech University System's new curriculum policies are unconstitutional and unlawfully restrict classroom instruction on race, gender identity and sexual orientation. But university leaders have called the changes "common sense."

A Democratic board member says colleagues harassed her in social media posts during Texas’ debate over how history is taught. The GOP members deny any bullying.

The State Board of Education on Friday approved a new reading list that includes numerous Bible passages, and a social studies curriculum that emphasizes U.S. and Texas history over world cultures. Approved changes start taking effect in 2030.

The Republican-majority State Board of Education is scheduled to vote this week on adopting curriculum changes statewide. Critics say the new social studies lessons and reading lists over-emphasize Christianity.

Texas' charters continued growing this school year, but the pace slowed. Experts warn that the enrollment drop facing traditional school districts could also affect charters.

Public school leaders will share how they are navigating finances, teacher quality and special education in the wake of last year's state funding overhaul.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the state can enforce its 2025 law requiring public schools to display donated posters of the Ten Commandments.

The board will have multiple opportunities to revise the list before a final vote in June. Before recent changes, the proposal's length, lack of diversity and Christian focus received criticism.
