I don't think that's correct. Texas became the first state in 50 years to actually cut budget spending. We didn't just swap numbers between columns. (In my school district alone, we're firing 97 teachers.)
‘Scuse me, but try a little accuracy: The teachers were not fired. They were part of a reduction in staff. Nowhere on their records will it be recorded that they were “fired.”
What has a reduction in staff at your school district got to do with balancing the Texas budget— since teacher salary comes out of your property taxes?
I believe that you will find that the budget increased over the last biennium. Morover, the “balance” was in part due to defering at least one payment to schools by a few weeks to push it into the next biennium.
