Far too many Texas students still lack access to a high-quality public school that works for them.

That’s why the #txlege created public charter schools in 1995. They are:
🚀 Free to attend
🛰️ Open to all
💫 Focused on helping students reach their potential

Today, nearly 370,000 high school students have access to a high-performing campus thanks to public charter schools.

great work by the @TPCSAnews team to produce this concept and report!

[BryceTXCharters @BryceTXCharters]

our latest research imagines TX w/o public charter schools, where students are limited to their zoned school (shudder)

population mapping software w/ a drive-time overlay show how many students would lose access to a highly-rated public school #txed 🧵

[BryceTXCharters @BryceTXCharters]

#txcharters break down barriers and provide a great education, typically for the students who need it most & would otherwise be shut out

in what world did #txlege cut #txed funding? you can argue for more flexible funding & against recapture but it's important to start from reality

Today I'm at Meadowlands in Boerne, a charter school partnered with a residential treatment facility & focused on CTE. 50 students, 100% low income, 45% SPED. So many charter models out there! #txed

Local taxpayers paid for a school. GCISD is now selling it, BUT w/ a deed restriction that it CANNOT be used as a school OR EVEN FOR CHILDCARE #foranyonebutkids #txed

Ran into Coach Taylor from Fri Night Lights. What a fun show. Kyle Chandler is a great actor but better man!

met this young man & was inspired that he took ownership of his own #txed pathway to get a clean slate to turn himself around & graduate

[Texas Public Charter Schools @TPCSAnews]

James didn’t know where his road would lead. 🚦 Facing instability at home, he often skipped class, and he felt lost in the shuffle at his traditional district high school. But he knew he couldn’t stay where he was, so he decided to change lanes. 🏎️

what a strange hill to die on

[BryceTXCharters @BryceTXCharters]

@smarick - neighborhood schools are great
- dont use them to trap kids
- or to hoard opportunity
- supplement them with schools of choice
- they're so important that if one is closing, a new model/operator > vacancy or repurposing the facility away from education

[BryceTXCharters @BryceTXCharters]

Ms. Davenport called @TPPF Mandy Drogin both the "Pink Princess of Policy" and "Mandy Ringwald" & this is the worst nickname backfire since @GovHotWheels_TX #txed
