"In 2006, I was glad to be a part of Chapa's Dedication Ceremony, so it is especially fulfilling to see this kind of success from the Cougars," said Rep. Doggett. "Unfortunately, with State Republicans doing all they can do to make this kind of success even harder to achieve through the cut-and-run approach they have taken to the state budget, teachers at Chapa and elsewhere will have their jobs cut out for them. But I know that with schools like this leading the way, we can overcome the roadblocks to helping every student achieve their full God-given potential."

Representative Doggett said, "Over 15 years ago, funds were set aside to help States that were negatively affected by the formula used to disburse Federal funding for helping low-income families get back on their feet. Ever since,Texas and many other States have depended on these funds to help people leave welfare for work. At a time when so many services are being cut at both the state and federal level, I am calling on the Republican leadership in Congress to maintain this vital commitment to vulnerable families inTexas and around the country."
