This weekend, Friday through Sunday, is the annual Texas Sales Tax Holiday. Our Bishop Van Buren reports backpacks, clothing, and school supplies under $100 can be purchased tax-free in the state. Texas students can now be expelled for an expanded list of actions they take off campus. Districts will be required to expel students for exhibiting a firearm and possessing a controlled substance, even if it takes place outside of the school.
