Despite Fort Bend County being a diverse, growing, attractive area for families, FBISD is having a hard time hiring teachers and staff.
"The special education teacher positions are really hard to fill these days. And so, we're really going have difficulty getting all of those filled," Bassett said.
"We have to figure out ways to cut, but at the same time, how to add compensation to the staff. So, that's what we're trying to grapple with now," Bassett said. Molina said school districts need more funds and support from the government, but she believes politics are getting in the way. One solution in Fort Bend could wind up on the ballot. A tax rate hike to support public education is under consideration as a rising number of families consider other options like private, charter, and home schools. Bassett said that amplifies the challenge to stay competitive because lower enrollment means less funding from the state.
