In the end (<em>the very end<\/em>) public schools received an unprecedented level of new funding for which we are very grateful. The funding will reduce our deficit, and we will continue to look for ways to operate as efficiently as possible while offering the educational opportunities that our community expects and children deserve.<br><br>We&#8217;re also grateful for the strong support public schools received in improving the discipline code via House Bill 6, so that our teachers and school administrators will have more needed flexibility in handling student discipline.<br><br>The RISD Board of Trustees <a href=\"https:\/\/richardsonisdtx.new.swagit.com\/views\/404\/\">received a final legislative presentation at the June 5 meeting<\/a>, with highlights from the 89th session and how legislation will impact RISD. <br><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Legislative Corner is published periodically throughout the 89th Texas legislative session.
