Weekly Roundup - July 8, 2022

This week on The Texan’s “Weekly Roundup,” the team discusses how public school districts compare with charter schools after the release of this year’s STAAR scores, calls to replace the official accused of mishandling benefits for families of victims of the Uvalde shooting, a Smith County constable arrested on charges of theft and official oppression, the Texas Supreme Court considering the limits of civil courts after one of them tried to shield abortion facilities, Senator John Cornyn’s response to conservative criticism of his bipartisan civics education bill, the Public Utility Commission getting stuck with a $200 million bill in obligations to rural telecom providers, and charges for the two men accused of smuggling dozens of people across the border, resulting in the death of over fifty people in San Antonio last week.
