Paul Burka, at the Texas Monthly blog, reports raw rumor that Gov. Rick Perry plans to appoint state Rep. Kent Grusendorf to head the Texas Education Agency, as Texas Commissioner of Education. Grusendorf lost his reelection bid in the primary, as Republicans in Arlington registered their discontent with his inability to resolve the funding crisis in Texas schools. After the primary, the state legislature was able to get a bill through, in a special session that ended just days before the deadline set by the Texas State Supreme Court, which had ruled the previous funding system unconstitutional.
How this would affect history books in the next round of textbook approvals is unclear at the moment.
Update, August 2, 2006: Gov. Perry’s office denies the rumor to the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram.
