Rep. Harold Dutton, D-Houston, a longtime member of the House Public Education Committee, is not optimistic lawmakers will significantly improve public education.”We’ll probably talk about facility funds, but when you talk about facility funding, you’re talking about money, and who’s going to put more money into public education?” Dutton said.

Lawmakers won’t do much beyond “talking around the edges of improving public education,” Dutton said, “and at the end of the day, we’ll pat ourselves on the back and talk about what a good job we did.”

If you want to get beyond solutions like “4 by 4,” it will take something called “leadership.”
