Paying
for Pre-K Can Be Tough For Middle Income Families |
by LOUISA
JONAS - Texas Public Radio | Pub: 04/11
|
San Antonio has received national accolades for collecting a special tax to fund a quality pre-school program called Pre-K 4 SA. But Pre-K
4 SA doesn’t accept all children, and many middle income families in Bexar County can’t afford other pre-kindergarten programs. That concerns some educators.

“David’s
Law” would criminalize cyberbullying, mandate school policies |
by JACKIE
WANG - The Texas Tribune | Pub: 04/11
|
David Molak had been harassed online by classmates who mocked his appearance and threatened physical violence. After months of cyberbullying,
the 16-year-old Alamo Heights High School student took his own life in January 2016. His parents created David’s Legacy, a foundation aimed at raising awareness about cyberbullying and suicide. And now the San Antonio family is working with a state senator
on a bill to make cyberbullying a crime in Texas when it leads to injury or suicide and the victim is a minor.
