Taxpayer-funded vouchers put TX taxpayers on the hook for funding the tuition of EVERY student ALREADY in private school. It's "welfare for the well off" while our neighborhood schools are shutting down.

Imagine a Texas Governor so afraid of his own people that he won’t let them decide what he says is the most important legislation of his program Texas y’all That’s Greg Abbott He has sold OUR #txlege to global billionaires Jeff Yass,Betsy DeVos & Charles Koch Koch

New: House Democrats are threatening to kill all constitutional amendments for the rest of session unless the House votes to put school vouchers before voters in November. bit.ly/42L9Jkf

Accurate. #txlege #txed They didn't let the voters decide on the "ESA" (voucher) issue, so the voters will decide how to treat them in the next election.

SB 2 would have concerning impact on public education and special education resources. Paperwork, evaluations, meetings and legal challenges likely to increase #txed #txlege The Arc of Texas Texas Dyslexia Coalition Disability Rights Texas bit.ly/3RpuOdP

Already hearing from our members that parents are requesting special education evaluations for purposes of the ESA. These evals are 100% unfunded when the parent has no intention of enrolling in the public school - $1k-5k each. #txed #txlege

Texas School Alliance TASBO TASAnet @tasbnews RaiseYourHandTexas The special education allotment has not been updated in over 31 years and let’s not forget the decade long special education cap that was imposed for over a decade. This bill is not a win for our special education students or educators. You know this and I know this.

A huge thank you to @teambettencourt for his tireless work on SB 568 to support special education in Texas! 🙌We look forward to implementation and transformation. #txed #txlege

Banning “taxpayer-funded lobbying” is actually Community Censorship. It’s silencing local voices advocating for local students, parents, schools, communities & taxpayers. Why do mega donors get a voice but locally elected Trustees from 1,025 ISDs don’t? No to SB 12 #txlege

This #TxLege special session, Mayes Middleton's SB-12 would silence the advocacy efforts of #RuralTX and #RuralEd. This bill has been described as “banning taxpayer-funded lobbying,” but it’s really about gutting #TxEd’s voice, particularly in Rural TX. A #TxLege 🧵.

FYI: The districts belong to the people not the officeholders.

I live in Buda, TX a fast growing suburb of Austin, TX. The proposed map puts it in a district with Matagorda Co located ON THE GULF OF MEXICO. In what world does this make sense? #txlege

If you think religious liberty should not protect the freedom of someone whose religion is different from yours, Or that the State should favor your religion, You do not believe in religious liberty. #txlege #txed
