SUMMARY: A Fort Worth ISD substitute teacher is under investigation for a controversial social media post suggesting that many students at Northside High School may be undocumented because they don’t speak English. This follows growing concerns about the safety of undocumented children at schools after the Trump Administration announced it would allow immigration arrests at schools. Fort Worth ISD reassured parents that schools remain safe and students’ rights to education are protected regardless of immigration status. Protests and worries are spreading across North Texas, with some parents withdrawing children from school due to fear of deportation. The district is investigating the teacher’s post.

SUMMARY: Rep. Ellen Troxclair filed House Bill 3879, the Texas Taxpayer & Voter Defense Act, which seeks to prevent tax-rate elections from funding large capital projects like Austin’s Project Connect light rail program. The bill targets perceived loopholes, including the lack of limits on project scope and cost changes after voter approval. It requires amendments to the Texas Tax Code to define projects that “materially deviate” from voter-approved plans. While not naming Project Connect directly, Troxclair criticized the program, citing legal challenges and significant changes to its scope. Similar legislation was introduced in 2023 but was not passed.
