@CenterPoint quit being tricky - the two colors most similar on your new & improved map are energized & we haven’t looked at it yet so no date for power. Those should be colors farthest apart so they don’t blend together making your map look green. Those colors shouldn’t overlap
🏒What a game we had last night to finish the 2023-24 ISHL Varsity season!🎉
The Justice Cup Championship game went into overtime and then into shootout with Memorial West winning 5:4 and becoming 2023-24 ISHL Champions.🏆
@TeamBettencourt This is nonsensical. How can you claim a 22% increase in public school funding when the basic allotment has not kept up with inflation and not been increased since 2019? How do property tax cuts increase public school funding? (Hint: they don’t)
Texas has 1 million kids in private or home school. If they each got a $8,000 voucher, it would cost taxpayers $8 Billion. A major transfer of public money to mostly religious institutions. More: https://t.co/LChkE1TJ1j #txlege
After Hamas slaughters hundreds of Jewish families, and Israel confronts an unprecedented security crisis, Donald Trump attacks the Israeli govt and praises Hezbollah terrorists. Are Republicans really going to nominate this dangerous man to be President of the United States?
New poll: Texans think lawmakers should prioritize teacher pay and public school funding in a special session. Not vouchers. https://t.co/adoo0tM5rU #txed#txlege
The midnight bill deadline has passed!!
We stopped the Ten Commandments bill from becoming law.
I’m so proud of Texas Democrats for sticking together and stopping this dangerous legislation. #txlege
For @GregAbbott_TX & @DanPatrick to act like kings, killing #txed funding & teacher pay raises because vouchers won’t fly, is tyranny.
While sitting on $30 billion.
House rural R’s & urban D’s must unite to form a public education caucus now.
No vouchers in TX! Ever! #txlege
👏👏We applaud the House for voting to raise the Basic Allotment by $1,000 last night, while the Senate focused on 💰💰attaching vouchers to funding bills still in their chamber. Fund public schools — and pay teachers, not private schools! #TxLege#TxEd#vOUCHersHurt
Sine die is fast approaching. Adequate school funding has still not materialized. Shenanigans are afoot at the Capitol. And @TeamBettencourt continues to attempt to discredit @SBISD. It's a desperate, condescending look. Sad really. Here is our response:

Did you know the amount of money the state has to spend over the next two years is 26% higher than it was for 2022-2023? Taxpayers and schools both need relief. There’s money for property tax relief and school funding. #txlege#FundTexasSchools
I guess @SBISD isn’t the only district that is facing severe and devastating budget cuts because #txlege refuses to fully fund pub ed. Spring ISD considers cutting to the bone- things like bus service to school. @TeamBettencourt @ManoForStateRep
The state's funding per student, known as the basic allotment, has not increased since 2019. Since that time, the operating costs of the school district have increased significantly as indicated by the graphic below. (1/3)
For decades, Texas lawmakers have rejected vouchers, which would send tax dollars to private schools. Now is the time to tell your legislators to take action. Click https://t.co/KiFdnQL6tf to support public schools and protect public dollars. #TxEd#TxLege#vOUCHersHurt
