School finance, protective service issues unresolved

Star-Telegram | 05/24/2005 | School finance, protective service issues unresolved: "The legislative session that began in January with an emergency order to overhaul the state's school finance system and to fix the problems in the state's protective services agencies entered its final week Monday with both issues unresolved.

Key members from both chambers huddled on those issues and myriad others still awaiting final action while Gov. Rick Perry met with top legislative leaders to jump-start House-Senate negotiations on the school finance plan, but there was scant evidence by early evening that any deal on any signficant front was imminent."
