Eduardo Hernández, Edgewood Independent School District’s superintendent, said that difficult financial decisions regularly faced by districts are compounded by the high needs of students in the area, the premium placed on school security and the mandate by the state to deliver on academic outcomes.
Hernández said he has little hope that more substantial funding will be coming during this session, which is set to conclude this month. But districts are looking to keep teachers in the classroom whether funding increases or not. “We not only deserve it, it is the moral thing to do to make sure that they’re taken care of,” he said of those students.
For districts whose boundaries encompass a larger geographic area, fuel costs have increased even more. Comal ISD’s fuel costs increased 140% since 2019, according to the district.Toscano echoed Hernández’s warning that without more funding, staff cuts loom, with preserving classroom jobs being the priority.
