With stagnant funding and rising costs, #Texas #teachers are feeling the strain. Proposed policies focus on #vouchers and performance-based pay instead of increasing base salaries. What will this mean for our public schools? . . 🔗 Source: spectrumlocalnews.com/tx/south-texas…

What’s really going on? School funding in Texas hasn’t kept pace with rising costs, leaving districts to do more with less. This explainer from Texas Tribune breaks it down—how we got here, what’s at stake, and why it matters for students and teachers. zurl.co/K9pqq

#Texas thrives because of its #publicschools. But instead of strengthening them, some politicians aim to dismantle them. Underfunded, overburdened, politicized—our schools are doing more with less. The “failing schools” narrative? It’s false. fotps.org/post/our-state…

Texas teachers deserve more than quick fixes. Our public schools are doing incredible work, but proposed policies fall short of the real investment teachers need. Expanding alternative certification may fill gaps today, but long-term success depends on preparation and retention.

For decades, I’ve worked to ensure that #Texaspublicschools are judged with fairness, accuracy, and respect. But right now, our accountability system is doing just the opposite, all because of a decision that changed the rules after the game was over. fotps.org/post/stop-movi…

Strong public schools mean a stronger #Texas economy. These NAEP scores are more than just numbers—they’re proof that Texas public education is preparing a competitive, capable workforce. Investing in our schools is investing in our future.
