The Texas Senate approved something called the Tim Tebow Bill, and it’s a big deal

75. Yes, this is a major factor in maintaining all school activities, including sports.

That loss is a reason why schools demand kids that are enrolled go to school on time, too. If they are not in their homeroom class at a certain time, the school isn't paid, even if they show up and attend all the classes later.

At least that was the way it was when I attended in Texas. The morning roll call determined the amount the state paid the school to operate in its entirety. If these kids just show up for one class or after school for sports, the school is not getting paid for it...

Unless this new law counts their showing up past the tardy time, but still pays for the entire day. Which I doubt that they have the money for, since they are laying people off. I think this is just more to hurt the public schools where they have laid off so many teachers, not based on school failures, even though the number of students has not gone down.

Possibly charter school lobbyists are pushing this in order to make their case for more profit as the public schools go without.

JMHO. Not a school employee.
