Lege TREND. No TX School Funds for Extravagances

Legislator: Senator Bettencourt 

Bill draft: “prevent a public school district from using general fund money for a project like the $20 million water park”

Fine tuned legislation: school districts cannot use funds for “extravagences” not directly tied to education

Why? repsonse to  La Joya district Sports & Learning Complex  that includes a water park with three slides, a swimming pool, planetarium and technology lab.
