Did you know that #txcharterschools receive almost $1,000 less per student than other public schools? #Facts. It’s largely due to unequal facilities funding, but HB 1572 would close the gap! Click to learn more + share to show your support! #txlege #txed txcharterschools.org/equalize-chart…

Let's do better than this for students. #txlege ➡️ Providing a great public education isn't "wasteful" ➡️ 400k public charter students (and 66k more on waitlists) deserve fairness ➡️ Honest math would include property tax $'s that districts receive but public charters don't

In 2017, the #txlege created a formula to provide equitable facilities funding for public charter schools. But Texas doesn't follow it. Why not? There's a cap on how much students at #txcharterschools can receive. Let's fix that! Learn more + share: txcharterschools.org/equalize-chart…

Let’s start a conversation about public school funding. 1) Public Charter Schools ARE public schools. They are tuition free and must follow the same (or stricter!) guidelines as traditional ISDs. #txlege #txcharterswork #SchoolChoice Shree' Recasner Texas Public Charter Schools part 1/3

2) Public Charters receive LESS funding per student to begin with but just LOOK at what we’re doing with it! Serving MORE disadvantaged student populations and closing achievement gaps. #txlege #txcharterswork #schoolchoice Shree' Recasner Texas Public Charter Schools Sarah Eckhardt Lloyd Doggett

3) Funding follows the student. The myth that charter schools are “taking money from districts” is harmful and untrue. Families should have the option to pick the BEST fit public school for their children. Let’s work in partnership. #txlege #txcharterswork Shree' Recasner Texas Public Charter Schools

These bills would only requires cities to follow the SAME zoning and permitting rules for BOTH public charter schools and ISDs. Equal treatment for all public schools so that we can help as many students as we can in partnership. #txlege #txcharterswork Texas Public Charter Schools Shree' Recasner

Me watching the Floor Debate for HB 1707 #txcharterswork #ilovemycharterschool #txlege #hb1707 #schoolchoice Texas Public Charter Schools Shree' Recasner

And I’m here (read: live-streaming) to witness it. Hoping that legislators voting on the side of children are staying strong and are willing to continue to push HB 1707 through! Charter schools ARE public schools. We are on the same side! #txlege #txcharterswork

YES! One step closer! Such a big win for TX and for TX families! I’m going to go into my classroom tomorrow with an extra pep in my step! #txlege #txcharterswork #ilovemycharterschool Shree' Recasner

Students at Austin ISD’s Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders held a walkout this afternoon to advocate for abortion rights.

Today is the first official day of National #CharterSchoolsWeek 2023! Join us in celebrating the 7,700 schools and 206,000 dedicated teachers across the country who are making it possible for America’s kids to get a great education!

Not only is it National #CharterSchoolsWeek, it's also Teacher Appreciation Week. Join us in celebrating and #ThankATeacher! We'll start: Thank you Jennifer Martinez for all you do in the classroom. This @YESPrep grad shares how her #txcharterschool prepared her for the future.

What can you do for #TeacherAppreciationWeek? If a teacher in your life is still working at your old school—send them an email and tell them how meaningful they were to you. It will take you 10 minutes and it will mean the world to him/her/them.

We’re excited to announce that HB 1707 has officially passed the Texas Senate! We’re one step closer to seeing ALL public school students treated fairly. 🌟 #txed #txlege
