Pat Hardy, Texas State Board of Education District 11 continues her discussion with Lynn Davenport. After being on the board for 20 years, she's seen how the educational system works, and helps us see how it all works at the state level.
The SBOE is responsible for the Texas Essential Knowledge & Skills [TEKS]- which all school districts follow - and Permanent School Fund, totalling 55 billion dollars. Pat is comfortable about how the Permanent School Fund, has operated over the years under the stewardship of Holland Timmons and Thomas Maynard. Lynn calls out conflict of interest because Abbott-appointed Todd Williams' nonprofit, Commit, is paid for by the Texas Education Agency. He should reveal his investments and disclose his relationship to the TEA.
Enjoy this conversation that takes you into the operations of our scholastic government. How are we approving curriculum resources? How is data being secured? How does this patronage network work nationwide? If the State Board is not in charge of these decisions, who is protecting the influence on our children? Millions are flooding through the TEA right now, how can we understand how it is being used?
