Oh please, don’t mislead people this way. Mr. Harrison you represent school districts, I feel sorry for them to have such an anti public education representative. List your districts which aren’t offering any high salaries. The Texas accountability system is highly manipulated. For example, Morath et al didn’t like the high school report card grades so raise them 22 points on college career and readiness. Sandy Kress also in a tiz as I tweeted w him. Absolutely, stewardship of taxpayer money is important and we want it spent in classrooms on campuses w the necessary support. TPPF and MyHouseFreedomsCaucus do nothing but berate and demonize teachers and our neighborhood schools. The ones responsible for public education in Texas is Greg Abbott, Dan Patrick and the #Txlege. How familiar are all of you w the Finland model? Now that’s reformation.
@brianeharrison Audit @teainfo first. Then school districts.
@brianeharrison Maybe because you keep cutting the states portion so SB’s have to raise property taxes to make up the difference. This on on you!
@brianeharrison Here what your “head of schools” make. 3-4 times as much with thousands less students .
@brianeharrison TPPF has many highly paid executives, with a fraction of the budget overseen by school superintendents. In addition to fiscal accountability, they have to have expertise in effective instruction for any child walking in the door, while complying with stifling regulation.
@brianeharrison One of the reasons Texas Government is so bad, is pay too low to attract and keep effective people. Superintendent salaries have nothing to do with tax rates. Look at recapture and property tax appraisals. The state supplants general funds with education recapture funding.
@brianeharrison TEA has had a 39% increase in tax revenue income- but ISD’s disbursements are flat! Why? E cause charters are taking it all!
@brianeharrison The State rebating some surplus tax rev to cover Counties robbing its Taxpayers is hilarious. The spending AND surplus funds in the ISDs and Counties is criminal! Uncapped assessed values up 43% while multiplier capped at 5% Folks have already begun voting w their feet.
@brianeharrison That is absolutely unacceptable! They make more than the POTUS! I think you've just sealed the deal for me I'm moving to Oklahoma! This is corruption at it finest.
