Varied bills in Education
Brief Summary of Texas
Texas is truly a Republic. There are a multitude of items that to modify the state constitution must be modified. So there are times when Constitutional amendments are on the voting ballots. While I sometimes abhor the wording, the concept that all of those legally able to vote in Texas must vote on the change is a good one. And bills in Texas are generally short, making it easier for everyone to understand.

This description will be updated as blogs are added to ensure it includes a description that includes all related blogs. The newest added blog description will be at the top.
Proposed Constitutional Amendment 9 for the November 7, 2023 ballot to permit a COLA increase in some retired teacher's pay. The funds to be taken from the Texas general revenue fund. I'm leaning toward NO.
Proposed Constitutional Amendment 5 for the November 7, 2023 ballot to create a Constitutional Texas University Fund. NO
Proposition 2: Proposed Constitutional Amendment for the November 7, 2023 ballot to permit the exemption of property taxes on childcare facilities. More exemptions means the loss of taxes gets pushed to the other properties, generally in the form of higher tax rates.
This law would make it clear that Parent's have right concerning their child(s) moral and religious training; decisions concerning the child's education; and the right to be consented before providing medical, psychiatric, or psychological treatment of the child.
