'Important piece of legislation': Bill moves away from attendance-based school funding

State Rep. Hugh Shine, R-Temple, is co-sponsoring House Bill 1246 — legislation that would shift away from attendance-based funding for public schools.
“This will be a very important piece of legislation that we will debate in the House and well as the Senate,” Shine said during a meeting hosted by the Belton Area Chamber of Commerce on Monday.
During the meeting, Shine invited state Rep. Gina Hinjosa, D-Austin, to discuss the legislation. Hinojosa, a former president for the Austin Independent School District’s board of trustees, began developing HB 1246 after noticing how instruction changed during COVID-19.
“I love working on doing things for kids every day,” Hinojosa said. “Right before session, I grabbed together all of the best minds that I know on public education … and asked them what we should be looking at post-pandemic.”
