The fall in petroleum prices alone will dictate changing school funding to the general fund.

The Texas GLO may have been around for a long time, but, it's abusing power. The GLO can remain intact as a sub agency to the Texas Department of Commerce. But, the funding of schools should be under the Texas Board of Education. Yes, Texas has a Department of Education.

There is too much power in the Texas GLO. It should not exist in it's present form. There is huge conflict of interest. Candidates can obtain monies by RECOGNIZING the need for intervention at the GLO to cronies. It is just too powerful an agency. The monies paid by the oil and petroleum industry directly effect children. All that has to be housed under the Department of Education in Texas.

The monies collected by the GLO, which might have a basis for having the agency exist. Texas has a large petroleum component to it's economy. But, the monies should be deposited into the general fund at the Texas State Treasury.
