Start with the administration. For example, why does the EPISD superintendent need to make $282,000???? He gets paid more than the prime minister of Japan who oversees a whole country! Then you have all the questionable positions under him. Why does a High School need 4 vice principals? It is clear that the school system is theoretically there for the student, but cutting teachers will only hurt the student in an effort to protect someone else's yearning to make the big bucks at the expense of many others.

It's not the "TX Capitol" or the "Texas state capitol." It's the "Texas Capitol."

But thanks for not calling it a "statehouse." You're cool, Zahira!
