Kelt Cooper?
Como es llame Kelt Cooper?
Sounds like a racist to me.
Horale!
Sudden, unexpected outbreak of common sense in South Texas.
400 kids time an average of $13,000+ a year for ESL students, means $5.2 million dollars going out the door. Your Mexican neighbors say, thanks US taxpaying suckers.
While attending schools in other districts in the U.S. is not unheard of, it usually comes with payment for that student.
If and when the Mexican federal or state government would like to kick in something instead of always being the beggars at the party, it would be reasonable to have localized acceptance of students. On the border, it's not such a big deal. Or wasn't, until the guests at the party started making nuisances of themselves.

How many American kids hang out on the international bridge before school every day, at the same time? Uh huh.
What a concept. This guy is obviously a racist.
I wonder how Justice Sotomeyer will rule when this case comes before the SCOTUS? (Well, no, I don’t really wonder.)
Now there's a shocker!!!
so will this policy just ensure that Mexican families just move illegally into the country so the children can legally attend school?
It is my opinion that since we are supporting Mexico already we should invade and seize their assets.
"It does cost us to educate these children, but we also get a benefit because we know they are likely to impact our economy in some way," said Ratcliffe, noting that many will work in the U.S. as adults.A minor addition, if I may:
...noting that many will work illegally in the U.S. as adults
It’s funny how “rule of law” is now a political issue: The Democrats of course will side with the illigals (probably), and agains our own laws!
Woah...good thing that super isn’t in charge of who’s eligable to run for POTUS!
Here’s the real kicker...in Texas, thanks to stupid liberals, we have ‘redistributive wealth’ in local school taxes, with poor districts (at least they used to be poor—when the law passed) getting tax dollars literally siphoned out of (formerly) wealthy districts to offset the inbalance in economic equity allegedly required by the Texas constitution. Since the beginning of Robin Hood school funding(as it is known down here), countless ‘wealthy’ districts face school closings, teacher lay-offs, supply shortages, etc. while simultaneously being forced to send as much as $2,000 per local student that the district takes in taxes to other districts to do with as they please. So the poor Mexican illegals can get an American education, other Texas tax-paying citizens’ children are being forced to do without textbooks, teachers, and schools. It’s the only thing I truly have hated about living in Texas.
Every school district should do this. By definition, an illegal is not a legal resident of any school district, and should thus not be allowed to attend any classes.
You should have seen the uproar when I tried to place my one child in a neighboring school district (we’re right on the border). The answer was a resounding NO!
He directed district officials to stake out the bridge and warn students they could face expulsion if they don’t prove they live in the district—a move that’s brought complaints from civil rights groups and support from anti-immigrant proponents.

Saw the story about this school board head last week.
Re this version: What “anti-immigrant” proponents? Does this moron writer mean people who are opposed to ILLEGAL immigration?
When I was in high school I was called to the office and kicked out of school right that second. They would not let me finish out the day and I had no transportation home. My crime was that we had moved into a new house and the realtor had promised it was in the same school district as before. I was a senior and had already attended four different high schools, so my folks didn’t want to have to change me yet again. Unfortunately the realtor was wrong, or lying. In any case, this quiet, good student who is very white, was summarily dismissed for living one street over. My how things have changed.
‘C’mon, it’s obvious what’s going on,’
Public schools get paid by the head.
Your tax dollars at work.
