Yesterday, Gov. Rick Perry vetoed the Legislature’s school financing plan. In light of that, here is HISD Superintendent Abe Saavedra’s statement supporting the veto:
We welcome any efforts the governor can make to get the Legislature to adopt an appropriate system of funding education in Texas. We applaud his boldness and his courage in approaching this issue, and we urge the Legislature to act swiftly and responsibly to give Texas children the kind of education funding they deserve.
