TEA Commissioner Shirley Neeley sent a letter to school districts to get them ready for the influx of students that we'll be seeing in the coming months. Basically, she's making it possible for schools to buy more textbooks, feed more students, and increase funding for individual district. Interesting note from today as well, Perry's 65% propaganda plan from last week has been postponed indefinitely (good riddance). Neeley said:

"Due to the huge student enrollment projected in Texas schools caused by the total devastation in Louisiana and Mississippi, by Hurricane Katrina, I am canceling the 65% Task Force meeting scheduled for Wednesday, September 7, 2005 at the Texas Education Agency."

Well, while we weren't necessarily expecting this, at least we've got a good system in place to adequately fund public schools? Right? Right?
