This Week: The Future of Texas Education

This week on Texas Politics Today, we continue our examination of the major issues facing Texas today, and how they will be addressed -- or not -- by the Legislature when it comes back to town next month. Our focus this time is on education.

Our guests are State Representative Donna Howard and Eric Hartman. Representative Howard was a Eanes ISD school board member and former candidate for the State Board of Education before being elected to represent her northwest Travis Coutny district in 2006. Eric Hartman is the legislative director of the Texas AFT (American Federation of Teachers). They'll discuss the state of Texas education, and highlight issues the Legislature will be addressing in January.

Also: this week's big political stories and the community calendar.

Texas Politics Today air on Fridays from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. Central time on KOOP, Austin's community radio station. KOOP airs at 91.7 FM and streams live over the Web at www.koop.org. Texas Politics Today is co-hosted by Deece X and David Kobierowski.
