Grusendorf: 9 billion!

Former Texas House Public Education Committee Chairman Grusendorf asks the following about new money for schools: “How will those dollars be distributed? What will Texas students gain in return?”

A huge bag of new money is being put on the table for public education.  That is the signal currently coming from state leadership.
