SHARE AUSTIN, Texas – Teachers in Central Texas drove around the State Capitol in Austin Monday in a car caravan protest t​o advocate for state leaders to cancel STAAR testing and increase public education funding.  Public school funding from the state is largely based on enrollment and attendance, which has dramatically fallen due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  The Texas Education Agency has extended the hold harmless provision through the end of the spring semester, so those drops in enrollment numbers won’t impact school funding for this school year. However, teachers say that’s not enough, especially when there’s still so much uncertainty about what the fall semester will look like, and whether enrollment numbers will go back up by then.
