Thank you, Speaker Phelan, for your leadership and support of #txed in this way. We have joined you by sending a letter from TASAnet to the delegation as well. Dade Phelan #txlege

Transparency and accountability are clearly a problem with many charters, expressnews.com/politics/artic…. 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.

What a great morning to see Bobby Ott recognized by the legislature for being TX Superintendent of the Year by Texas Association of School Boards. He is a great model of leadership in every way in such a critical position. Great board too! Senator Pete Flores District 24 Rep. Hugh D. Shine Brad Buckley TASAnet #txed

"Consider total public school funding represented by a pie. When a slice is removed (in the form of a voucher to a private school or homeschooling initiative), there is less pie remaining ... less funding for Texas public schools." More from Keith Bryant: tasanet.org/vouchers-not-r…

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. itep.org/tax-avoidance-…. TASAnet #txed #txlege I don't want my tax $ to subsidize private school tuition for the rich.

Love it. This is just one example of countless #txed leaders who serve Texas communities every day. Thank you for your inspiring leadership Lupita! Spring ISD

Vouchers are anti-civil rights legislation that will harm TX children. I visited the Capitol recently to talk w/ legislators, educators, & citizens about the racist origins of vouchers, discrimination against kids w/ disabilities, & failures in other states. Texas AFT

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

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

Lainie Rowell What a blessing to me to spend this time with Lainie Rowell on her podcast #EvolvingWithGratitude, which is such an inspiration to all who listen. She is the best - and what a cool and critical job she has talking to people about gratitude! TASAnet Jill Siler #txed

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

So proud of our very own Dr. Martha SalazarZamora for this very well-deserved honor! Such a first class representative of our profession in every way. What an honor and a privilege to know you and work with you for many years and as TASAnet Pres.-elect. Way to go Dr. Salazar-Zamora!

If you care about #txed, voting in the primaries is a MUST! <1 in 5 registered voters typically vote in the primaries, allowing the very few to choose who represents the many. Early voting starts Feb 20. Do your homework now and #GetOutTheVote! vimeo.com/907484473 TASAnet
