No, contra the state association for homeschooling, it's not parents yanking their children, but, between being worn out by COVID issues and now, Matt Krause et al's book hunting battles, a number of North Texas superintendents are retiring. While the story mentions Metroplex districts, I know of three small rural superintendents who have also retired, though they're all waiting until the end of the year.
The rent is too damned high, and thanks to our Tex-ass Legislature, there's little you can do about it.
Off the Kuff comments on the SD10 redistricting lawsuit, which could have caused the March primaries to be delayed, but won't.
"Ken Paxton is the best, worst example of Texas exceptionalism." Texas Observer doesn't go wrong with the story behind that homepage headline (which is a bit different, including the word "corruption," on the story page.) It was the Observer's parent that filed the original complaint against Kenny Boy seven-plus years ago. It's not just him, though. The "framing" by the Observer notes several other state AGs during this time period who have either resigned or else been successfully prosecuted.
Even as state newspapers continue to seek Kenny Boy's Jan. 6, 2021, communications with The Donald, the House investigation committee may be wanting the communications of his primary foe, Goehmert Pyle. (The Dallas Observer IS doing a large amount of reading between the lines.)
