We did gain another seat last election cycle. It is a slow process because like the US Senate only 1/3 of them are on the ballot each election cycle.
Listen up, because even if you do not live here the Texas SBOE's textbook decisions can impact your children's educations. Want to know why?
Because our school system is so large that what the SBOE chooses will be what the majority of textbook publishers offer to other states so they don't have to print as many different books on the same subjects.
Now for math or spelling or English grammar this is not such a big deal. However some of the insane stuff they were putting into the history and trying to get into the science curriculum should never be used in a classroom. There was a lawsuit not that long ago because a 4 th grade history book described slavery as migration by Africans for better economic opportunities.
