It was a tough decision to leave school. I will be forever grateful to the school and my coaches there.

Given the recent Texas Supreme Court decision requiring a restructure of the state school finance system by June 2006, the legislature will meet in early January to accomplish this task. Why approve $44 million in new debt now, when a new finance system may fund proposed bond expenditures at the state level and existing debt could be impacted by more restrictive property tax limits? The debt portion of our school tax has increased by 82 percent in just six years and taxpayers are feeling exhausted.

They are yet to make a decision on how they will be policing that matter.

They're going to review them, after which a decision will be made on when Governor Richards will be admitted.

This is a very big decision for this school and this community, and it will not be a rash decision.

We have not heard anything. But whatever he decides to do, we will support the decision.
