Could Texas’ $830 million share of the Education Jobs Fund that could save more than 14,000 education jobs end up in legal limbo?
It seems that Gov. Rick Perry and Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott are threatening to sue the federal government because of requirements to receive the new education funding.
“If anyone wants to play games or mess around, we will simply stop funding them and put that money in states where there’s a real need,” U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan told The Houston Chronicle. ”We’re not going to have any tolerance for (states) trying to divert money or playing games.”
Duncan continued, “We will be working with every state, including Texas, to make sure the right things happen for children.”
So are we going to see a showdown in Texas?
