Zachary’s first feature aired this morning on KUT’s @TexasStandard. He covered school closures and what they mean for students, using Pease Elementary as his example. You can listen to his reporting here - https://t.co/XeSDBBzgWA. I am a proud mama! #AISD

The long-term effects of closures are still coming to light, even as districts across Texas are poised to shutter more.

We are currently experiencing wildfires and red flag conditions in our region. The risks are real and we all need to do our part. That is why I sat down with @TheAustinCommon to discuss what we can do to prevent and prepare for wildfire. https://t.co/ZYGUtxAWuq

I was excited to celebrate the grand opening of the new Canyon Creek FIRE/EMS Station on 620. This marks the achievement of an ambitious goal to build 5 new Fire/EMS stations in 6 years to reduce response times, support first responders, and elevate our wildfire preparedness.

Local government is always important, but in times like these the choices made at the local level can light a way forward.
Why we must focus on health and climate, especially in local government.

Who would choose an education policy that failed in other states? TX parents have the right to know this is an expensive, failed policy that will almost entirely benefit wealthy parents already sending their kids to private schools. @GinaForAustin @jamestalarico @RoyceWestTX

I agree with @Alliance_Texas. Let's fund our public schools!
We urge state legislators to prioritize students in public schools. With a $24 billion surplus, legislators can make needed investments in academic excellence, special education, student safety, and teacher retention. #txlege #txed
