Two-thirds of U.S. educators prefer to teach remotely this fall, according to an NPR/Ipsos poll of teachers. Many Texas teachers are on edge, and some say they may quit if their schools reopen.

Texas Supreme Court justices ruled the school funding system constitutional, and they aren't requiring any legislative changes. But they also said the state's 5 million schoolchildren deserve better.

How much money a school can spend on its students still depends, in large part, on local property taxes. And many states aren't doing much to level the field for poor kids.
