HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM KIM: The kids are back in school and that means it’s time for our annual Education Edition! In this issue, we’ve included local school district data (see Pages 14-15) as well as a guide of local businesses where you can nd supplies and equipment to meet all of your child’s extracurricular activity needs (see Pages 18-19). We hope this school year is lled with lots of fun and learning for you and your families! Kim Giannetti, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM HANNAH: While state funding for public education has remained stagnant since the 2019-20 school year, costs have risen by roughly 18.5% within that same time frame due to ination. While the regular 88th legislative session has concluded without additional funding for public schools, district ocials are hoping for relief as legislators are expected to reconvene for a third special session in October. To learn more about how these funding challenges are impacting Spring and Klein ISDs, see our front-page story which continues on Pages 22-23. Hannah Brol, EDITOR
