Round Rock to move forward with application for $60M wastewater funding

The city of Round Rock will seek a low-interest loan from the Texas Water Development Board to partially fund ongoing expansion of the East Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant to meet future demand growth. 

The big picture: In May, city officials approved measures to seek outside funding for a 10 million gallon per day increase in capacity at a regional wastewater treatment plant located in Round Rock. The plant services Round Rock, Austin, Cedar Park and Leander, but only Round Rock and Austin will be entitled to the additional capacity. 

The system consists of two wastewater treatment plants and about 45 miles of regional collection lines.

In a nutshell: The loan would come from the Texas Water Development Board's Clean Water State Revolving Fund, and would finance part of the city's expansion to from 30 million gallons per day to 40 million gallons per day of wastewater treatment capacity at this facility, Public Works Director Michael Thane said in a May 26 Round Rock City Council packet briefing.

$8.4B boost did not shield Texas schools from budget cuts, educators say

Nearly $8.4 billion in new state funding was not enough to save Texas public school districts from budget shortfalls and campus closures, school administrators said June 1.

What happened: During a 10-hour public hearing at the state Capitol, school district leaders spoke of efforts to stretch their budgets amid high inflationary costs as teachers explained their decisions to leave the classroom due to pay cuts and large class sizes.

The big picture: Last year, Texas lawmakers passed House Bill 2, a $8.4 billion school finance bill designed to increase educator salaries, create a new pot of money for fixed costs, provide more training for teachers and boost special education resources.

Roughly one year later, districts across Community Impact’s coverage areas are cutting staff and closing campuses, citing enrollment declines and budget shortfalls. 

Quote of note: "This funding deficit is the final straw for me, and it will be for countless other educators across the state who must leave or who lose their jobs," Austin ISD French teacher Rachel Preston told lawmakers June 1.
