Hudson superintendent Webb announces intent to retire

Hudson ISD Superintendent Donny Webb has announced his intent to retire at the end of the 2024-2025 school year, ending 32 years in public education. “I am publicly announcing my intent to retire as superintendent after this year. Having served in public education for what will be 32 years, it has been such a pleasure and joy,” Webb said in the notice. He added that his career in education began unexpectedly when his former high school physics teacher asked him to take over his teaching role. Webb’s journey at Hudson ISD began in 1997 when he moved to the district from Jasper ISD. He started off as a high school math teacher, moved up the ranks and became an assistant principal, principal, assistant superintendent and eventually superintendent, a role that he’s held for eight years. In the notice, Webb emphasized how special of a district Hudson ISD has been, calling it a “great place,” while praising the teachers, staff and administrators.

Texas education board signals support for first state-developed elementary curriculum

The Texas State Board of Education gave preliminary approval to new state-developed reading and math textbooks Nov. 19. Members are poised to green-light them later this week.

Can Democrats Keep the Texas House Anti-Voucher?

In the last presidential election cycle, four distant years ago, Texas Democrats pursued an ambitious campaign to take control of the state House. Bolstered by millions of dollars that flooded in from the national party apparatus, Dems targeted as many as 22 GOP-held seats across the Texas suburbs. The strategy was built upon Beto O’Rourke’s near-victorious U.S. Senate campaign in 2018, in which he carried a narrow majority of the state’s 154 state House districts. All they needed to do was flip nine seats that O’Rourke had carried. Democrats were so optimistic heading into Election Day 2020 that multiple state reps, having suffered in the minority for years, announced bids for the speakership in anticipation of their party taking control of the lower chamber for the first time in nearly 20 years. With the potency of the GOP’s gerrymandered maps having waned, and the next round of redistricting on the horizon, it was now or (possibly) never. What happened instead was, of course, a failure of disastrous proportions as Democrats failed to net a single seat. Then, a few months later in the 2021 legislative session, Republicans redrew the state’s political maps to extend their single-party control of the statehouse for another decade. Their gerrymandering this time opted for maximum protection of their current majority of red seats. Without fear of electoral backlash, the GOP-controlled House and Senate has marched a long line of extreme conservative legislation into law.
Speaker-hopeful Tom Oliverson Promises to Give Voters Republican Representation

Oliverson said he will end the practice of awarding Democrats powerful committee chairmanships in the Texas House. In an interview with the Luke Macias Show, Republican State Rep. Tom Oliverson of Cypress explained how he would use the speakership to change the structure and culture of the House. Oliverson, who announced his candidacy for House Speaker last month, said he will “give the voters what they voted for, which is actual representation.” He described the results of the March GOP Primary as Texans “calling for a change.” Oliverson also explained there is a “pattern of behavior” in House leadership that he doesn’t support—namely, lording power over members, pushing them around, and telling them how they have to vote.

Austin-area school districts face teacher retention crisis amid Texas school funding shortfalls

In addition, districts are experiencing an increase in educators considering leaving the profession due to a lack of funds, increased class sizes and lower salaries. “We have the unfunded safety mandates from the state that added to what we have to spend money on, we had decreased funding from the federal government for our school health and related services,” Georgetown ISD Superintendent Devin Padavil said. “It was this perfect storm of decreased revenue and increased expenses that have hit school districts, and there's no easy solution in sight.” view article
