Texas is one of just a handful of states not taking steps to send major federal relief to its public schools. Texans are calling on state legislators to stop stalling and give schools the resources they need. #txlege #txed dallasnews.com/news/education…

The state is paying less of the share of public education costs than expected. Why? Because property values have risen, meaning homeowners and others who pay property taxes are picking up more of the education-funding tab. #txlege #txed texastribune.org/2021/04/09/tex…

Texas teachers know what kids need after this very difficult year. Listen as some of the educators who work with students each day across Texas explain why state leaders need to distribute federal funding to schools. #txlege

Please share: The Senate version of the bill to "clean up" 2019's school finance reforms threatens to cut funding to Texas public schools and break a promise made when those reforms were passed. #txlege #txed txsc.org/cshb-1525-thre…

🚨 🚨 We're alarmed by the Senate version of HB 1525, the school finance "cleanup bill." This bill could result in funding cuts for schools and limit the impact of federal education funds when students need them most. Read more: txsc.org/cshb-1525-thre… #txlege #txed

We need your help to protect full funding for public education in Texas. Don't let legislators break their promise to schools. #txlege #TxEd texansforlocalschools.org/blog/post/5619…

The Texas Senate's version of HB 1525, the school finance bill, would require districts to sit on large sums of money for years. But schools need those resources now. Look up how much money each district would be forced to sit on for 3 years: txsc.org/wp-content/upl… #txlege #TxEd

When a student leaves the local school district with a private-school voucher, more of each tax dollar paid by property owners is subject to Robin Hood. Vouchers make Robin Hood worse. #txlege #txed

Legislators should unconditionally oppose sending a single dollar to private schools in the form of an ESA or other vouchers. #txlege #txed txsc.org/esas-would-for…

If a student leaves a public school district to attend a private school with an ESA, that district's per-student property wealth will increase — and the state will take away more in Robin Hood recapture. #txlege #txed loom.ly/1kTKDAw

Taxpayers would pay for ESAs and other forms of vouchers. But unlike local school districts governed by elected trustees, private schools offer taxpayers no say in the direction of the schools they are funding. #txlege #txed

HB 1 as passed out of committee includes a UNIVERSAL ESA voucher that will soon cost $2 billion every year. This will make it even more difficult for Texas to fulfill its constitutional obligation to fund public schools. #txlege #txed

A powerful piece in DMN Opinion from a now-former teacher who has had to leave the teaching job she loved so she can make ends meet. This is why it’s so important to vote in the upcoming primary elections. #txed dallasnews.com/opinion/commen…
