Texas public school ratings — which grade how well districts and campuses educate their students and prepare them for the future — were made public for the first time in two years.

Results across the state have dropped after the Texas Education Agency implemented stricter scoring standards, and one North Texas school district is at risk of being taken over by the state after five consecutive years of receiving an F ranking.

Weed Shop Owner’s Plea to Texas Governor Amid THC Ban

The Go Easy shop owner has planned for the worst, but still hopes Gov. Greg Abbott will veto the Texas Legislature-approved ban on THC in the state.

Mathias is sad about the way canna-business owners have been villainized when she believes their products improve lives.

Abbott can block the bill, sign it into law, or never sign it, and it still becomes low. Either way, Go Easy will still be around to sell their hemp products, which are not affected by this bill.

To get all this w33d business broken down for you, and hear from more shop owners like Mathias, subscribe to our special edition newsletter on the THC ban, going out on June 14.
