On June 3, the day after Sine Die, we recorded the latest episode of our Intersect Ed podcast, “Recap of the 89th Texas Legislative Session: A Historic Session for Public Education”.

Host Morgan Smith was joined by Jaden Edison, public education reporter with the Texas Tribune, Scott Braddock, editor at Quorum Report.com, Edward McKinley, Austin Bureau reporter for the Houston Chronicle and the San Antonio Express-News, and Bob Popinski, Senior Director of Policy at Raise Your Hand Texas. Together they discussed what has been hailed as Historic legislation for public education – including the $8.5 billion package in school funding and teacher raises and the passage of Texas’ new voucher program – as well as the inability of the legislature to agree upon and, therefore, change our assessment and accountability system.

Public education and Texas legislative policy experts, who regularly meet with staffers, legislators, and advocates throughout the state, shared their top insights with a live audience. They discuss what has been hailed as Historic legislation for public education - including the $8.5 billion package in school funding and teacher raises and the passage of Texas’ new voucher program - as well as the inability of the legislature to agree upon and, therefore, change our assessment and accountability system.
