It’s clear that the business and parent community support their public schools! Thank you @DannyMassey44 for inviting your community to advocate for the engine that feeds the workforce pipeline in Texas. #txlege

Important piece from former Speaker Joe Straus about the state’s underfunding of public schools. In constant dollars, state funding for schools is down $10 billion since 2020. #txed #txlege dallasnews.com/opinion/comme…
I am very grateful for this opportunity and excited to lead @TXSC_org. @clrome is a powerful and respected voice and leader, and I’m honored to continue what she’s started to make meaningful and sustained investments in our public schools.
Missy Bender, a former school board President & a trusted advocate for public education, will be our new Executive Director. We look forward to her leadership as we continue working for meaningful, lasting investments in public schools. tinyurl.com/TSC0724 #txlege #txed

The state makes the majority of decisions regarding school funding. That’s why voting in Texas’ March 5 primary elections is so important to the future of public education. Research candidates and make a plan to vote today. 🗳️ #TxLege #TxEd #GOTV p2a.co/J5TkByU/candidates

Another special session has begun! While #txed districts pass deficit budgets, #txlege lawmakers have an additional $18 billion to spend and talk about funding private school vouchers. Take 15 seconds to tell your legislators to fund our schools now: p2a.co/Y3qUTKR.

"when it comes to the state’s refusal to fairly and fully fund our public schools, support our teachers and lift up our students, it’s time to say, no more."
