🚨 On behalf of 35+ organizations across the state, TLEEC opposes #HB232, which is another Dream killer bill that attacks Texas Dreamers.
Every student is worthy of a high-quality and accessible education, not barriers built out of hate and fear.

🚨BREAKING: The Texas Senate has officially agreed to the House changes to #SB2, the multi-billion dollar voucher bill.
This means the bill is now headed to the Governor’s desk for his signature.
This is crushing to the 5.5 million Texas children who attend public schools.

🚨 The TX voucher bill (SB 2) could be voted on any day. It would drain billions from public schools & exclude immigrant students.
đź“ž Call your rep & say NO to SB 2.

Yesterday, we testified against the Senate’s latest voucher scheme.
We should focus on raising the basic allotment and keeping public dollars in public schools.

From this Chalkbeat story: Voucher proposals are expected on Nov. 6, after Election Day.
And: "Sen. Majority Leader Johnson told school board members the governor is planning a 'substantial' increase for public education funding in 2025 but didn’t specify how much or for what."
Tennessee is gearing up for another private school voucher debate. Here's what we know. chalkbeat.org/tennessee/2024…

#txlege We have to do better! #FundPublicEd
Districts are facing an unprecedented crisis w over half running budget deficits, rising inflation costs, & the end of stimulus funds. #txlege must raise the basic allotment & increase teacher salaries to ensure our students receive the edu they deserve. The shortfall isn't just a DFW issue—it impacts communities across TX. shorturl.at/SaIWy

In the 90s, the NH Supreme Court ordered the state to ensure that every student in the state, regardless of where they live, could get a quality public education. Citing Dobbs, 31 state legislators want to overturn that precedent: newamerica.org/education-pol…
