If there is a $1.8 billion surplus, do not give it as tax breaks until all of the funds cut from Texas Public Education are restored in full. Our children are attending classes with larger numbers of students, fewer resources (materials and teaching staff) and reduced oportunities. Will businesses really want to come here if we cannot supply them with an educated workforce.

If there is a $1.8 billion surplus, do not give it as tax breaks until all of the more than $5 billion cut from Texas Public Education is restored. My children attend classes with larger numbers of students, fewer resources (materials and teaching staff) and reduced oportunities like art or even elective science classes.
