Rep. Steve Allen today tweeted a pdf of a letter, signed by 82 members of the Texas House, that was sent to Commissioner Mike Morath last Friday, urging him to extend the Hold Harmless to assure full funding to all school districts through the remainder of the school year. The letter argues that the budget passed by the 86th Legislature is more than sufficient to fund the Hold Harmless Guarantee for the full current school year. The letter concludes that if Hold Harmless is not extended for the second semester, “the process of making difficult and harmful decisions to reduce staffing, in addition to cutting programs for students, may be forced on school districts immediately.”
