“If you've met a teacher recently, especially if they're on the younger side, homeownership is far out of reach,” said Patty Quinzi with Texas AFT.
Quinzi fears that this year will be among the worst for teacher shortages largely because of the “lack of respect” shown by state legislators in the recent session. She likened it to a “slap in the face” for overextended teachers who’ve seen their salaries dwindle as inflation balloons.. On top of that, Texas enjoyed a record $32.7 billion budget surplus this year.The Texas Tribune
The property tax deal is going to hinder districts’ local ability to raise revenue, Quinzi said. Texas AFT is concerned that it’s not a sustainable tax cut in the long term. “The House decided they wanted just to keep that separate from the property tax bill, and I respected that,” Patrick said, according to. “We will address that in a later session and, look, we’re going to get teachers a pay raise.”
