PERRY VS SCHOOL BOARDS


There's a lot of concern going on over how the state right is being perpetrated. Teachers are being laid off all over the state and people wants answers. Unfortunately, Gov. Rick Perry is not giving any. He believes that he should not be blamed for the massive layoffs.

Many people agree that his way of dealing with the state budget crisis is not the best way. In an official statement made by the communications director of Perry, Dax Gonzalez said that the legislators won't personally fire the teachers but that is essentially what will happen if the legislative leaders fail to provide any funding for districts to retain teachers.

This is the unfortunate truth. Technically Perry and the government aren't responsible for the lay offs. It's what will ultimately happen after the state budget falls and school districts have the face the truth with budget cuts. The situation has been going on for a couple of years now all over the country but just in the past six months has it truly hit Texas hard. The economy is still not in the best condition and has been on recovery mode for a while.

I agree with the authors perspective about the issue. The government is not truly to blame for what school districts around the state has been going through. If the state budget is low then schools districts are not going to be funded with the proper amount of money to function them. As a result the districts have to cut down on they're expenses. As a result of this schools have to cut down of faculty and staff.
