Summary
Houston ISD just approved two major, controversial moves: adopting a Bible-infused Bluebonnet Learning curriculum backed by the state, promising $3.3 million in extra annual revenue, and allowing nonprofits to run top-performing schools—potentially unlocking $700–$1,500 more per student in state funding. Both decisions, unanimously passed, spark debate over church-state separation while aiming to boost resources and performance in the district.
