Texas Board of Education might need to be expanded, lawmaker says

AUSTIN — The chairman of the House Redistricting Committee said Friday that he will ask House Speaker Joe Straus to order a study on whether the 15-member State Board of Education should be expanded. Rep. Burt Solomons, R-Carrollton, said that after his committee drew a new proposed map for the current board — based on 2010 census numbers — it became evident that some of the board districts are too large. The two most prominent examples are in the western half of the state.
