Gov Greg Abbott can't stop lying about fellow Republicans even after he got his way last night. Being a sore winner is a terrible look. Republicans are going on record now about Abbott's intimidation campaign ahead of last night's vote on school vouchers #txlege
State leaders are failing our students with a clear & terrifying plan: 1️⃣ starve public schools of funding 2️⃣ shovel $$ at charters & vouchers 3️⃣ release ratings based on reviled standardized tests to justify undemocratic state takeovers HoustonCVPE #txlege #txed
To recap: The TX Education Agency waited til all results were in from schools for 2023, & THEN RETROACTIVELY set the bar much higher to pass A-F accountability. 120 school districts sued Agency for foul play. The Greg Abbott appointed 15th Court ordered A-F grades released.
The Texas House voted 142 to 5 for a version of school finance their superintendents strongly supported. We'll soon see House members' reactions to Speaker Dustin Burrows praising Dan Patrick's version, gutting the basic allotment, micromanaging ISDs, and underfunding suburban ISDs
