The House Public Education Committee met for its first official hearing of the session Tuesday. The committee, under the new leadership of Rep. Brad Buckley (R-Salado), heard invited testimony from the Texas Education Agency and the Texas School Safety Center. Commissioner Mike Morath gave a broad overview of the agency's objectives and priorities, as well as current statistics regarding public education in Texas. For the seven new members on the committee, this was largely an informational hearing to get them acquainted with the mammoth tasks and challenges that face our Texas public schools.
