Texas must pay millions to fix errors in Bluebonnet school materials, contract shows

The $8.4 million tab, first reported by FOX4 Dallas-Fort Worth, comes at a time when state leaders criticize school districts for a funding crisis they view as caused, in part, by poor planning and reckless spending. … Bluebonnet, an elementary and secondary school reading and math program that state leaders often tout as high-quality, comes with a $60 per-student incentive for districts that use it. As of last year, nearly 600 districts planned to use some of the materials. The K-5 reading portion faces criticism for its use of Bible stories, while others express concerns about the lessons downplaying racism and slavery.
