A momentous win for Texas students! 🎉

The House just concurred with the Senate on the final version of #HB1707 -- which means the bill heads to the governor to be signed into law. ⚖️

Thank you to our passionate advocates for fairness and opportunity! 🌟 #txlege #txed

[Texas Public Charter Schools @TPCSAnews]

We’re excited to announce that HB 1707 has officially passed the Texas Senate! We’re one step closer to seeing ALL public school students treated fairly. 🌟 #txed #txlege

What can you do for #TeacherAppreciationWeek? If a teacher in your life is still working at your old school—send them an email and tell them how meaningful they were to you. It will take you 10 minutes and it will mean the world to him/her/them.

[Texas Public Charter Schools @TPCSAnews]

It’s official – HB 1707 passes the Texas House! Next up: the Senate floor. We’re eager to see ALL public school students treated fairly! 🌟 #txed #txlege

[Hannah B @HannahATX]

YES! One step closer! Such a big win for TX and for TX families! I’m going to go into my classroom tomorrow with an extra pep in my step! #txlege #txcharterswork #ilovemycharterschool @SMedlock

[Texas Public Charter Schools @TPCSAnews]

HB 1707 passes to third reading on the Texas House floor! We're one step closer to ending discrimination against #txcharterschools in zoning/permitting.

Thank you Rep. @StephanieKlick for your leadership! We're grateful to all House members for their consideration. #txed #txlege

[Hannah B @HannahATX]

And I’m here (read: live-streaming) to witness it. Hoping that legislators voting on the side of children are staying strong and are willing to continue to push HB 1707 through! Charter schools ARE public schools. We are on the same side! #txlege #txcharterswork

First vote verification of the session.
It's all happening

Me watching the Floor Debate for HB 1707 #txcharterswork #ilovemycharterschool #txlege #hb1707 #schoolchoice @TPCSAnews @SMedlock

[Hannah B @HannahATX]

These bills would only requires cities to follow the SAME zoning and permitting rules for BOTH public charter schools and ISDs. Equal treatment for all public schools so that we can help as many students as we can in partnership. #txlege #txcharterswork @TPCSAnews @SMedlock

[Texas Public Charter Schools @TPCSAnews]

🚨ACTION ALERT🚨The Texas House & Senate are scheduled to vote on HB1707 and SB472! These bills would stop cities from discriminating against public charter schools - and costing students.

3) Funding follows the student. The myth that charter schools are “taking money from districts” is harmful and untrue. Families should have the option to pick the BEST fit public school for their children. Let’s work in partnership. #txlege #txcharterswork @SMedlock @TPCSAnews

[Hannah B @HannahATX]

2) Public Charters receive LESS funding per student to begin with but just LOOK at what we’re doing with it! Serving MORE disadvantaged student populations and closing achievement gaps. #txlege #txcharterswork #schoolchoice @SMedlock @TPCSAnews @sarah_eckhardt @RepLloydDoggett

[Hannah B @HannahATX]

Let’s start a conversation about public school funding. 1) Public Charter Schools ARE public schools. They are tuition free and must follow the same (or stricter!) guidelines as traditional ISDs. #txlege #txcharterswork #SchoolChoice @SMedlock @TPCSAnews part 1/3

[Texas Public Charter Schools @TPCSAnews]

Did you know that #txcharterschools receive almost $1,000 less per student than other public schools? #Facts.
It’s largely due to unequal facilities funding, but HB 1572 would close the gap! Click to learn more + share to show your support! #txlege #txed

Let's do better than this for students. #txlege

➡️ Providing a great public education isn't "wasteful"
➡️ 400k public charter students (and 66k more on waitlists) deserve fairness
➡️ Honest math would include property tax $'s that districts receive but public charters don't

[Texas Public Charter Schools @TPCSAnews]

In 2017, the #txlege created a formula to provide equitable facilities funding for public charter schools.

But Texas doesn't follow it. Why not?

There's a cap on how much students at #txcharterschools can receive. Let's fix that!
