Agreed! Thanks @TurnerForTX and @SenRoyceWest for your leadership and partnership on this bill. Making a big difference for families, schools, and Texas.

What difference would full-day pre-K make to Texas kids? It is making a huge difference for Dallas children! And your child can be part of it, starting next week. PreK enrollment begins April 1. https://t.co/3KQ4uNxtLf
