I lived in Bastrop County most of my life and Rodney Reed has been a perpetual background noise, so this rush of national attention is real weird.

I'm happy to announce that Wheatly High School will now be IDEA Wheatley, partnered with KIPP. the school will have half the enrollment of before and we are going to spread all the bad students throughout the rest of the schools to meet metrics. Numbers are infallible and will show that this area is performing better in the aggregate. Thank you.

The HISD takeover was odd timing. The Board was was an utter shitshow that routinely violated the Open Meetings Act to engage in secret meetings to snipe at their rivals on the board while also being blatant criminals directing contracts to their friends (my Trustee, Diana Davila did this) They almost came to blows on multiple occasions and it is amazing that HISD was able to accomplish anything with their board in utter disarray. However, last week, every incumbent up for re-election lost, it was a de facto new board chosen by the voters (some of the old ones stayed on because their seats weren't up). The state announced the takeover after this happened. I would feel differently if I thought the state GOP was even capable of acting in remotely good faith, but they aren't, and used a flimsy pretext to depose an elected school board so they can destroy the district from the inside to use as their evidence of the failure of public schools. Anyway. If you're from Houston, please run for school board and dont be corrupt. Thanks.

The boards in the Valley are basically run by one family and the nepotism is some next-level poo poo.

Texas schools are funded by property taxes, and the district itself is the taxing authority. They are always the largest portion of the property tax bill. It is helpful in some cases (avoids Dan Patrick being in charge of doling out school funds to his favorite evangelical charters) but harmful in a lot of others (small boards without a lot of oversight lend themselves to corruption)

It's usually better because in our current political climate, the school systems can generally avoid the WASTE AND FRAUD FIRE ALL THE ADMINS method of operating government favored by state leaders because of how close the actual underlying operating costs to the elected board.

The state government has been starving them of funding for a decade necessitating the 10% year over year increase in property taxes.

I think the recent property tax and school finance bills will ultimately do more harm than good to homeowners (GET OFF MY LAWN). Most districts way overappraised this past year in anticipation of major changes in the funding formulas, so they'll likely be 15-20% higher in coming years now that most people are essentially locked into a higher appraised value. Housing affordability has reached an unsustainable level for many.

The water beats the hell out of the "am I drinking unfiltered water out of the trinity river?" Richardson system I dealt with for a few years. Can't speak for the weed, I live in an extremely normal country that requires me to piss in a cup regularly, or make <$12/hr.

For job interviews just use Quick Fix. They don’t watch you pee at that level of test and it’s super easy if you pay attention to the temperature. More difficult if it’s a random one though.
