Based on the court ruling, the Texas Legislature has much work to do.
 - We need to devise a school funding system that provides sufficient funding to schools while at the same time creating a system of taxation that is fair to taxpayers providing an environment conducive to economic and capitol growth.
- We need to address these "structural changes" suggested by the court. The legislature can and will find ways to improve efficiency and adequacy of public education that ensure a better return on our investment.
- Teachers need to be compensated for their skills and abilities. Deserving teachers need increased compensation and performance based incentives for continuing to deliver results. We also need to offer incentives to those teachers who offer special skill sets in high demand, especially in the critical fields of math and science.
- We need to find a system that will work and adapt with the changing needs of our Texas public education system.
