This is a lie. #txed teachers work long hours at low pay to love & instruct TX children-mostly poor-all day/every day. We won't stand by while Greg Abbott builds his political career on our teachers' backs. This is a willful, cruel lie, Gov. You know it. #txlege

To all educators across the state, you are the only state employees not getting a raise, our state values you less than school choice vouchers. Please see this letter from Ken King regarding efforts in the house. Greg Abbott promised to fully fund public schools.He failed

It’s clear as day. The Governor of TX and Republican Senators have only contempt for public school teachers. Remember this when you vote. #txlege #txed texastribune.org/2023/05/27/tex…

The commissioner of education gets a raise from $220,000 to $325,000. Teachers get $0 despite Abbott’s task force recs. TEA adds hundreds of employees. ISDs get no increases to the basic allotment and lots more rules and regulations to implement without sufficient funding.

Don't let anyone from this #TxLege tell you this was a "public education session." This was a LOST session for #TxEd. Any positives that came out of it were hard-won by educator + parent advocacy.

Texas teachers are not getting a raise in a state with a $33 billion budget surplus. #TxLege #TxEd

We have paras who are experiencing homelessness because they make under $14/hour, working directly with students every day. And you want to talk about tax rate compression? Walk in their shoes for a single day. See how much you think about tax rate compression. #TxLege

$33 billion surplus. No increase in basic allotment. No raises for teachers. No raises for bus drivers. No raises for counselors. No raises for any public ed employees. Our voices must be heard! Continue the fight for #txed. #txlege

Principals … here’s an awesome ice breaker your teachers are guaranteed to love…it’s called “Go work in your classroom.” #edutwitter

Prop 9 on your Texas ballot this November will give retired educators their first pension increase in two decades. 💸 We need YOUR help to pass it. 🫵 Join our Retiree Plus members for a campaign call this Tuesday on Zoom! mobilize.us/texasaft/event…

During the tough times, 2008-2013, teachers throughout the US, took pay cuts and freezes to help communities who were in need. Teachers were told when funding returns to normal, that their salaries would increase. THAT NEVER HAPPENED. It’s time!

10 ways to succeed with zero talent: 1. Be On Time 2. Show Up & Do the Work 3. Give Your Best 4. Be Positively Contagious 5. Have an Attitude of Gratitude 6. Seek Solutions 7. Have Passion 8. Be Coachable 9. Do More Than What’s Required 10. Believe in Yourself

Please don’t respond to entire staff regarding issues of one person. Address these concerns privately with the individual. Handling conflict face to face may not be easy but is key. Responding to all makes the innocent feel like they’re in trouble & this crushes morale

.Greg Abbott would rather defund our public schools than make them the envy of the world. Instead of wasting time on voucher scams, we need to raise the basic allotment, give our teachers a raise, & invest in mental health and special education. Our students deserve better.

As we prepare for the upcoming special session on Monday, let's be clear about education savings accounts, vouchers, or whatever you want to call them: they're a scam, plain and simple. They siphon public funds away from the schools serving most Texas kids while benefitting only
