Texas' budget for the next biennium is in the hands of the ten members of the budget conference committee. Tell these legislators to say NO to discriminatory voucher schemes and YES to more funding for EVERY Texas student!

"Despite all of its challenges, this past year has made me prouder than ever to be an educator. It has been an honor to watch you rise to every occasion and meet every challenge with compassion, creativity, and care for all of your students." – Becky Pringle, NEA President
ALERT: Gov. Abbott extends "hold harmless" funding for public schools through the end of the school year.
We've been rightfully critical of the Governor before. But in this case he has made the right move for students and staff to better focus on learning. Now cancel STAAR, sir!
Today, @FLOTUS and I traveled to Connecticut to visit with students in my hometown. I may be a little biased but I’m honored to introduce Dr. Biden to some of our country's finest educators and students.
