After the #txlege refused to reform how Texas funds special education in 2019, a panel they created to consider a funding system based on student need instead of instructional arrangement are recommending full reform of the current system. #txed #SpEd

Panel co-chairs Steven Aleman (@DisRightsTx) & Kristin McGuire (@txcase) gave us this joint statement: “The members of the committee hope that each state lawmaker takes a careful look at the report and speaks to his or her constituents on the recommendations." #txed #txlege 1/

"It’s even more important in this time of uncertainty that focus be given to how this state prioritizes the education of students w/disabilities. This includes financial resources & the way in which these resources are distributed throughout the state." #txed #txlege 2/

"The current system is flawed, so the time is now to act."
