Nearby, classmates searched for new words, practiced pronunciation and built confidence as they learned a new language together.

Texas’ charter school boom may soon bust, experts caution
Texas’ charters continued growing this school year, but the pace slowed. Experts warn that the enrollment drop facing traditional school districts could also affect charters. Texas charter schools recently saw their smallest enrollment bump in state history, signaling that similar forces crushing traditional public districts may soon hit them as well. Students have enrolled in charters at significant rates since they launched in the state three decades ago — even as traditional public school enrollment started to fall. But with birth rates going down, new schooling options popping up and fears regarding immigration enforcement spreading, experts say that growth may soon reverse.“They’re headed to a cliff, for sure,” said Bob Templeton, a senior consultant with an Austin-based public policy firm called STRIVE. He has studied Texas school demographics since the 1990s. “And I don’t know if it’s going to be next year, but it could definitely be within five years.”

Brazoria County deputy Kevin Tippit fired after fatal shooting of Texas State student John Mendoza

The authority that is entrusted to law enforcement officers is extraordinary and with that authority comes a responsibility to exercise strong judgment, follow policy and uphold the standards expected by this profession," Stallman said. "Based on the ongoing investigation and the information available at this time, I have determined that due to the policy violations related to the handling and discharge of his firearm, the employment of the deputy involved in the shooting on June 1, Kevin Tippet, has been terminated effective today."
