“If we don’t respond to what Austin is forcing upon us, we’re going to ultimately end up in a worse financial position down the road where learning is going to be severely impacted,” board vice president Lisa Andrews Alpe said. #txed #txlege bit.ly/47QBGat
Texas public schools are advancing workforce readiness through high-quality STEM and CTE programs. "We need to remind Texas lawmakers that money matters in public education, and our kids and teachers deserve the funding and support they need to succeed." #txed #txlege
Take note, Texas: private school tuition went up as much as 20% after Arizona passed its school voucher program. Regular families won't be able to afford private schools...and that is by design. #txed #txlege bit.ly/3Rjf6l9
⚠️ “…test scores for students in voucher programs decrease in part because of low-quality private schools. Some just open to collect tax dollars…” #txed #txlege texastribune.org/2023/10/13/tex…
"The state has been near the bottom in per student funding for years. In the past, legislators could throw up their hands and say, where would the extra money come from? Their inaction now, with that extraordinary budget surplus, is inexcusable." #txlege bit.ly/45PQrZZ
We need more leaders like @GaryVanDeaver in the #txlege who vote their district. Thank you, Representative! #txed

We kicked off the inaugural Trustee Advocates Program Summit tonight. The energy is high as @VLKArchitects welcomes everyone to become more enlightened and empowered about advocating for public education. #txlege #txed #schoolboards #advocacy
An important read from @DanRather regarding the intentional attack on public schools and why our country's future depends on their success. #txed #txlege bit.ly/3P2gpUo

Let this sink in for a minute: "The accountability system is changing. It is probable that districts can have higher student achievement rates than last year — or even the same rates — but their A-F rating will decrease." #txed #txlege fortworthreport.org/2023/08/16/a-t… via @FortWorthReport
#txlege House Select education committee's report is out. Most recs related to bills passed by the House during the regular session One nugget: @RepHaroldDutton wrote that he opposes "any recommendations with underlying efforts to create a voucher system in Texas public schools"
“It’s still going to come down to whether there’s 76 votes, and that’s going to be incumbent upon members voting their districts,” Phelan added. “There’s always hope, but no guarantee.” #txed #txlege texastribune.org/2023/08/10/dad… via @TexasTribune
“This drastic and arbitrary change will mean most high schools in my district will actually drop a whole letter grade right before a special session on vouchers." Thanks for raising the alarm, @GinaForAustin #txed #txlege austinchronicle.com/news/2023-08-0… via @AustinChronicle
“To me, until we fully fund education at the state level … which we’ve never done, I think it’s wrong to take money out of the system and give it to private entities.” Thanks, @KingForTexas #txed #txlege expressnews.com/politics/artic… via @ExpressNews
I’ve had a Twitter account since October 2008. It’s been a big part of my life and my work. Today, for the first time, I moved the app icon off my home screen. Mainly because that giant X looks dumb. But also because I don’t recognize this company anymore. #EndOfAnEra
The Arizona Attorney General sent a message to parents about fraud and discrimination within the state’s ESA (voucher) program. Let that sink in while we await an upcoming voucher special session in Texas. #txed #txlege kjzz.org/content/185291…
"Of the 19 [charter] schools approved since 2017 that have opened, 18 fell short of their enrollment projections, and 14 were at least 20 percent lower than they estimated." #txed #txlege expressnews.com/politics/artic… via @ExpressNews
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Believing that school choice is the solution for racial and economic inequality is like believing that we can solve homelessness by expanding gated communities.

One of our biggest challenges as a country is that we don’t grow up together across class and cultural lines…and then we wonder as adults why we are so polarized as a nation, unable to understand perspectives other than our own. I love this idea…just wish it was longer.

Moderate Rs are the majority. Extremists should be worried about being voted out. Moderates carry general elections & will approach primaries differently to keep the party together. Extremists in both parties divide the country- i.e., you can be Christian & support pub-Ed.
We need more leaders like @GaryVanDeaver in the #txlege who vote their district. Thank you, Representative! #txed
