You don't want to miss our latest podcast episode, recorded LIVE at #TribFest2025! Join our panelists in an insightful discussion about the future of school funding and the proposed "Legacy Education Fund."

[RaiseYourHandTexas @RYHTexas]

"Despite the Texas Legislature’s recent investment, Texas spends about $3,500 less per student than the national average. The state’s two-year budget cycle adds uncertainty, forcing schools to make long-term commitments without dependable support.

'Districts are constantly stretching resources to cover basic needs,' Bob Popinski [dean of policy for Raise Your Hand Texas] said. 'Without steady, long-term funding, they’re busy fighting fires and catching up instead of investing in student success.'

The proposed 'Legacy Education Fund' aims to address this challenge by providing a reliable, supplemental revenue source."

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!

Texas public schools serve nearly 3 million Hispanic students, approximately half of our state's entire public school student population. Each student brings a rich heritage, powerful perspective, and bright future to our classrooms.

This month, we honor the educators, students, families, and community leaders whose contributions continue to shape and strengthen public education across our state.

The most powerful history is often found in our own communities. This month, we honor the educators, students, families, and community leaders whose contributions continue to shape and strengthen public education across our state. Share the name or story of a Hispanic voice that made history for you, and we'll celebrate them together!
