Funding schools is like filling up a glass of water💧 But what happens if the glass overflows? That money doesn’t always end up where Texans would think. Learn about the sources of Texas public school funding and the issues in the system: bit.ly/TXschoolfunding #TxLege #TxEd

What happens when the state doesn't have to contribute all the money they budgeted and intended for public education? 💵 This video introduces the basics of school finance and issues in the system bit.ly/TXschoolfunding #FundOurSchools #TxLege #TxEd

“Newly released data from the Texas Education Agency shows inflation-adjusted per-student funding for the state’s public schools has decreased since 2014.” #txlege #txed expressnews.com/politics/artic…

I am so thankful to a generation that stood up to evil and WON. A great reminder of the greatest generation! Thank you for my freedoms I have today 🇺🇸

Texans have high expectations for our education system, yet Texas spends $3,000 to $4,000 below the national average and is currently ranked 42nd in per-pupil spending. Texas schools deserve better: bit.ly/SchoolFundingTX

houstonchronicle.com/politics/artic… A new TEA report show inflation-adjusted per-student funding has decreased since 2014 when Abbott took office. “The new numbers show that per-student funding in fiscal year 2023 was $6,669, below the 20-4 figure of $6,680, when Abbott was first elected”

Texas public schools are struggling with the impact of inflation — higher costs for fuel, utilities, insurance — combined with stagnant state funding. The Governor and Texas Legislature have not put meaningful new dollars into education since 2019. #txlege #txed

It’s past time to fund public schools properly. “A recent report from the Texas Education Agency shows that state funding has actually decreased over the past 10 years Gov. Greg Abbott has been in office…” #fullyfundsbisd Greg Abbott Mano DeAyala Lacey Hull @TeamBettenc

So, despite what some erroneously claim, funding for our public schools has eroded over the decade. Next session, the #txlege, and the Governor, must step up and ensure that we finally invest in our children who are the future of our state. 3/3

Education funding is down 12.6%. Of course, every ISD in the state already knew it was down. #txlege schools need full funding before we add funding private schools. Mano DeAyala Team Bettencourt Lacey Hull Joan Huffman
