Texas has an opportunity to transform how it funds public education by establishing a new education endowment, a practical first step that would give legislators the framework needed to create an endowment, moving Texas beyond the short-term nature of our two-year budget cycles

👏👏We applaud the House for voting to raise the Basic Allotment by $1,000 last night, while the Senate focused on 💰💰attaching vouchers to funding bills still in their chamber. Fund public schools — and pay teachers, not private schools! #TxLege #TxEd #vOUCHersHurt

The Texas Senate's priority school voucher bill has slim odds of passing this session, with a key deadline looming and opposition from all sides. Gov. Greg Abbott has vowed to call a special session if the House doesn’t “expand the scope of school choice.” https://t.co/KEHAMq4Jcm

If you missed the morning session of #txlege House Public Ed hearing on #SB8, watch Vice Chair Alma Allen @RepAllenTX131 passionately explain how this bill will hurt low income communities. #txed

In Texas, we know better. We’ve seen the research, and it’s clear that voucher programs don’t improve academic outcomes for students. Contact your legislators and tell them you support our Texas students and public schools: https://t.co/7JPmLBepxX #TxEd #vOUCHersHurt #TxLege

There are last-minute efforts to pass a MASSIVE voucher bill that would hurt public schools and create STAAR Version 2.0 - without letting the public speak on it! You can help stop it in 20 seconds. CLICK HERE NOW: https://t.co/2JC0J0wuvj

#vouchers or ESAs are private school coupons for wealthy families. Unfortunately, these coupons come at a great cost to public education. Today, House Pub Ed will try to vote out the largest voucher program in the nation. Don’t let them. #SB8 #txlege #txed

Vouchers and ESAs are not free. They come at the cost of our beloved band programs, cafeteria workers, and counselors. Don’t put our public schools on the sale rack. Our students are worth more. #TxEd #TxLege #vOUCHersHurt

126-11. The House just passed HB 4402 on second reading. Thank you to the thousands & thousands who spoke up! Powerful input from constituents, a bipartisan vote & an acknowledgement that we can do better than a purely STAAR-based accountability system. #txed #txlege 👏

Dear #TxLege, teachers don’t need “thank you” cards from you during #teacherappreciation week. They need a real raise. #InvestInTxTeachers #ThankATeacher #txed #txlege
