Teachers, Parents to Stage School Rally at Capitol 2/23/13

AUSTIN - Students, parents, teachers and leaders from school
districts around Texas are set to rally at the state Capitol, demanding the
restoration of $5.4 billion in public education cuts the Legislature approved in
2011.
Former Education Commissioner Robert Scott is among those addressing
Saturday's annual rally organized by the advocacy group Save Texas Schools.
With the biannual Legislature now in session, thousands are expected to
attend. Turnout was relatively light last year when lawmakers weren't around.
The cuts prompted more than 600 school districts to sue, and a judge ruled
recently that funding was inadequate and unfairly distributed. But the state is
appealing.
Meanwhile, a bipartisan Texas House group is discussing the possibility of
restoring as much as nearly $1 billion to schools without exceeding current
state budget spending limits.
