About this listen
Students are fleeing from Round Rock ISD schools near Austin, Texas and shockingly, the school board majority insists "there's nothing to see here!" Even though central Texas enjoys explosive population growth and there are more school age children living inside the boundaries of this school district than ever before, today over 12% of these children and their parents have chosen alternatives to our public schools. Declining enrollment weakens the community in many ways and has a devastating impact on the school district's budget. Despite the pleas of two board members, Dr Mary Bone and former US Air Force captain, Danielle Weston the school board majority refuses to discuss the topic or find solutions to reversing this exodus of students. Instead, the majority just offers excuses and demands more money from the state of Texas.
In this episode, Bone and Weston go over the enrollment numbers, discuss possible long term implications and share their thoughts on why the board majority refuses to address this problem and resorts to bizarre and false gaslighting excuses including a "declining birth rate".
