This pic almost says it all! Add that the new school picks and chooses the students (not parent choice), is not accountable to taxpayers (70% of whom don't have school-age children), doesn't build community, doesn't have transparency or proven results, etc. @tasanet #txed.

A picture is worth a thousand words. As a faith based, Bible believing, Jesus loving, superintendent. What happens when the private academy becomes something that was unintentionally imagined? Indoctrination comes in all shapes, numbers & colors! Just my thoughts… 🤔

One of the most harmful & consequential bills for #txed of all time will be considered in a "formal hearing" with no testimony. It is a huge voucher bill that allows 70-80% of students to get private school tuition subsidized by our taxes and defund pub ed. Bad for TX! #txlege.

Fact: the @TXlege spent $8.2 billion less on @txed than budgeted in 2021-23. Inflation was over 14%. There is a huge shortage of educators - morale at all-time low. Anything less than a 14% raise will be a net reduction in pay. This is the time to do better for public ed in TX.

Vouchers, ESA's, etc. in other states have become a subsidy for the wealthy. In Louisiana, 99% of people receiving them make $200K or more, 87% in Virginia. @tasanet #txed #txlege I don't want my tax $ to subsidize private school tuition for the rich.

What a great morning to see @OttTempleISD recognized by the legislature for being TX Superintendent of the Year by @tasbnews. He is a great model of leadership in every way in such a critical position. Great board too! @PeteFlores_TX @ShineforTexas @BradBuckleyDVM @tasanet #txed

Transparency and accountability are clearly a problem with many charters, Vouchers for private schools would have none. We simply can't afford to fund three systems of education with three sets of dramatically different rules: public, charter, private.

School vouchers weaken public ed, promote discrimination against kids w/ disabilities, & fail to improve outcomes. What kind of choice is that? See my @statesman op-ed on the topic. @DianeRavitch @pastors4txkids @TexasAFT #TXlege

I, along with 90+ of my #txlege House colleagues, wrote to Texas' congressional delegation this week in support of a permanent fix for the PSF. We urge Congress to pass H.R. 9044 by @RepLloydDoggett and @RepArrington! Our letter here: #txed.
