Spring Branch ISD said it needs a $1,000 per-student increase to keep operations normal, however, the state is only offering an increase of just $50 per student.
Since 2021, Fort Bend ISD has been forced to reduce its budget by about $40 million to keep up with inflation and the growing education costs.
"2% raises is not going to be enough to keep our teachers. They are tired. They are burned out. Not to mention being able to recruit and retain nurses or police officers or bus drivers," Bassett said. "The state is not going to continue to be the state it is if public education suffers," Bassett said.
In a joint statement from Senators Joan Huffman and Paul Bettencourt on Thursday, they said, "It is extremely concerning that school district leadership would threaten students and families with cuts in services and increased taxes while state aid to the district is increasing."
