As you all know, the State of Texas has submitted a bill cutting school funding by 23% and attempting to remove all extra curricular and co-curricular activities from schools. Monday, there is going to be a rally with an estimated 200,000 teachers, administrators, superintendents and school board members at the State Capitol. HISD School Board is sending Stephen F. Austin "Sonic Boom" Marching Band to be showcased in front of the State Capitol as an ambassador for programs in the city of Houston and/or other programs across the state of Texas that may be cut.
I urge anyone available to take this trip out to the State Capitol if you value the activities you participate in to come out to Austin, TX on Monday. It would be a nice road trip plus you are representing something worthwhile.
Word is that some schools in Central Texas have already shut down their programs..
