Texas House Speaker Joe Straus said Friday he's committed to pumping billions of dollars back into the state's public schools, even though the Legislature approved historically deep cuts just last year. Texas' booming population means its current 5 million-plus public school enrollment increases by as much as 80,000 every year. But the 2011 legislative session failed to provide enough new funding to keep up with enrollment, instead passing $5.4 billion in overall cuts to public education and classroom grant programs. Straus wouldn't say he will push to find the additional $5.4 billion necessary to roll back all of those funding cuts. He did say, though, that since Texas' economy has weathered the recession and is strong again, lawmakers have more options.
