HOUSTON – Mayor Sylvester Turner and several Democrats attended a news conference Monday to call out state Republican leaders for allegedly refusing to adequately fund public schools in Texas, according to a release.

Democrats said this has caused several rural school districts around the state to move to four-day weeks, and new polling shows 70% of Texas teachers want to quit their jobs, the release states.

Turner was joined by Aicha Davis, a member of the Texas State Board of Education, and Harris County Democratic Party Chair Odus E. Evbagharu.
