Texas school officials say arts and culture programs could get hit after lawmakers approved a $4 billion drop in public education funding. But the cuts are also prompting action. In New York, high school students called for a city-wide walkout on February 1st to protest the latest round of school closings and budget cuts. Jaisal Noor files this report.
