Governor hopefuls
vow focus on schools
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) —
Before Gov. Rick Perry ratified
the most sweeping changes to
Texas classrooms in a decade
last summer, he summoned to
his office the architect behind
the major reforms known as
House Bill 5, frowning at parts
of a testing overhaul that he
never sought.
"He was certainly paying
attention," Republican state
Rep. Jimmie Don Aycock
recalled. "Now whether
(education) was a major
emphasis of his administration,
that's for the public to judge."
Many take the view that it
wasn't, but Perry's successor
might make schools a clear
focus.
As Perry wraps up a record
14 years on the job, Republican
Greg Abbott and Democrat
Wendy Davis are both vowing
to prioritize public schools if
elected in November. Following
through could elevate education
as a signature issue in the
Texas governor's office as it
was under George W. Bush,
before he left for the White
House and used the state's
testing system as the framework
for the No Child Left Behind
law.
Abbott last week unveiled
the second part of an education
plan that's now 50 pages long
and still has a third installment
to go. Teacher unions have
criticized some of his proposals
which wouldn't extend
Davis, a heavy underdog
against the longtime Texas
attorney general, has bemoaned
low teacher pay and is the
latest Democratic nominee to
make schools the centerpiece
of a gubernatorial bid. The
last one, Bill White, lost to
Perry in 2010 by double digits.
Education observers say
whatever happens when Perry
leaves in January, they're happy
to see schools emerge as the
dominant issue in the race.
"We just kind of lost our
focus. It's not something you
fix and walk away from," said
Jim Nelson, who served as
Texas Education Commissioner
under both Bush and Perry.
"We really focused hard on it
in the late '90s and the early
part of 2000s, and then we
kind of didn't."
Under Perry, public schools
were walloped by a historic
$5.4 billion spending cut in
2011 and textbook approvals
became battles over creationism.
Texas joined many states in
receiving waivers from
strenuous requirements of the
Bush-era No Child Left Behind
law, but the opt-out was most
symbolic coming from Bush's
state.
The results of Texas public
schools under Perry are mixed.
On-time graduation rates
have steadily climbed even as
the statewide population booms,
and rank by some measures
among the highest in the

prekindergarten in Texas to f nation. But critics point to
full-day — and Republican college entrance exam scores
that remain middle-of-the-pack
and teacher salaries that are
among the lowest nationally.
