RootEd had the privilege of attending The Bexar County Education Coalition’s State of Public Education in Bexar County luncheon.  We left totally inspired.  As SAISD Superintendent Dr. Aquino said, “Public Education doesn’t just educate, it saves lives.”

We couldn’t agree more @nancypjohnson. Vouchers writes a check the state cannot cash. ICYMI-

Preyor-Johnson: Vouchers will erode public schools, especially in rural Texas

Can Kinder and 1st graders learn to code? 💯! There is a confidence gap not a skills gap in STEM so elementary programs are crucial to our future workforce strength. Play can become learning.⬇️ #RootEdBeard

Thank you @gr8tersachamber incoming Chair Mario Barrera for making Education and Workforce your number 1 priority this year! @BCEC looks forward to working with you! #txlege #txed

[RootEd Texas @RootEdSA]

🍎HB 2 / HJR 1 adds considerable funding for school safety measures.

🍎SB 2 provides pay raises for teachers and increases the #txed Basic Allotment by $75.

#txlege should advance these bills to at least have the discussions. Our kids and staff deserve it.

[Bexar County Education Coalition @BCECTX]

A great PSA! Thank you @JeremySWallace

[Jeremy Wallace @JeremySWallace]

A public service announcement. In Texas a lot of politicians tweeting about 88% of voters backing school vouchers.

What are they talking about?

In 2022 on GOP primary ballots ONLY, there was a ballot question asking if parents should have the right to select schools

[Bexar County Education Coalition @BCECTX]

Thank you to the majority of the Bexar County Delegation for standing firm against ESAs!! #txlege

[RootEd Texas @RootEdSA]

We won!!! 84-63 is a wonderful, bi-partisan statement that vouchers are not what parents want!! Now could we please get some funding passed!! #txlege #txed
