You don’t end up with a positive classroom culture on accident. It takes time, effort, and intentionality. #LoveonPurpose #RelationshipsMatter

[Julie Johnson for Congress @juliejohnsonTX]

Today I had the opportunity to sign on to @VoteGiovanni’s HB 20 requiring the state to invest a portion of the rainy day fund in more market competitive investments to garner better returns. The proceeds will contribute to much needed TRS funding for TX teachers. #TXlege

Teaching is the best profession because it matters.

Teaching is also the hardest profession because it matters every day.

A well-funded Pre-K education sets the stage for our students' future. Thank you to @TEGACTX for allowing me to participate in reviewing the imperative role that private philanthropy plays in public education policy #txed #txlege

[Dan Manning 🌵 @realdanmanning]

I’m 100% in favor of a substantive teacher pay raise. But a teacher pay raise isn’t enough w’out a substantial increase in state funding for the schools where our teachers work. Raising teacher pay w’out adequate school funding is like slapping a band aid on a deep cut.

Chairman Taylor says he is happy to discuss accuracy of STAAR rdg levels, but he won't be swayed from where lege is headed. So, it's okay to evaluate 3rd grdrs w/ 5th grade level rdg passages? Really? @TEPSAtalk #WeLeadTX @TexasHouse @RYHTexas @pastors4txkids @OfficialATPE

What was message of last election? @CodyforTexas talks importance of representation for rural TX. "Fund pub ed, property tax reform + improving economic opportunities for rural communities" @SamHarless126 @BradBuckleyDVM #ttevents @TEPSAtalk #WeLeadTX

[JustFundItTX @JustFundItTX]

Write a love letter today! Texas parents and students love their public schools and deserve better than being 43rd in per-student funding.

[Donna Howard @DonnaHowardTX]

The evidence is clear. #txlege needs to fund full-day preK for currently eligible students. We know it works. No need to wait for third grade results. Let's do this now.

[Paige Williams @TCTA_Paige]

Supt. Williams from Sunnyvale ISD notes that having teachers compete for income will reduce collaboration among peers. I can't imagine how reducing collaboration is in the best interest of students.

Amen! 🙏🏼 💯
