State Sen. Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound, and state Rep. Vicki Truitt, R-Keller, have been appointed to a committee that will study the public school finance system.

"I was thrilled," Truitt said March 8 at Grapevine's Chamber of Commerce luncheon. "What I am going to be doing is holding some meetings, probably within each school district, and I want public input so that I will be better prepared to represent the people on that committee."

The two will join 20 others on the Joint Interim Committee to Study the Public School Finance System, which will make education funding recommendations to the Texas Legislature during its next session scheduled to begin Jan. 8, 2013.
