House Public Education Committee schedules hearing on migrant children in schools

While the House has yet to schedule hearings for Gov. Abbott's priority bills for the special session, the House Public Education Committee has announced a hearing for Tuesday, Sept. 28, on one of its interim charges:

Examine the impact, including any financial impact, to the Texas public school system of an increase in the number of children crossing the Texas-Mexico border. Review the history, any applicable precedents, and the legal landscape regarding the education of migrant children in Texas's public schools.

UPDATE: This meeting was subsequently canceled.
