We thank @OfficialATPE Lobbyist Tricia Cave @ATPE_TriciaC for her late night testimony in the #txlege House Public Ed committee, tirelessly standing up for #txed educators and public schools.
Charter schools were going to improve Texas education by providing “school choice”…right?
Yet, charter schools failed @teainfo’s 2023 Accountability ratings at significantly higher rates.
Why wasn’t this included in TEA’s accountability summary & press release?

No additional revenue (this is different then the heralded 6 billion that just swapped dollar for dollar state & local money but provided no additional 💰), inflation, flawed accountability system & negative rhetoric have led to the profession’s decline. Who caused this you ask?
Sen. Brandon Creighton (R–Conroe) filed the Senate’s sweeping “teacher pay” bill Tuesday and immediately scheduled a Senate Ed hearing on the bill with less than 48 hours’ notice. Check out ATPE's analysis of the bill on @TeachTheVote. https://t.co/KbgdX2tPbR
.@GovAbbott’s inaction has cost Leander ISD over $34 million dollars this school year.
Teachers and students are suffering — we don’t need a voucher scam — we need a real investment in our public schools.
I have 34 million new reasons to fight Greg Abbot’s voucher scam.
That means a single parent making $105,000 a year—or a family of four making more than $150,000 a year—would qualify.
“Pure and simple, this voucher scheme is a scam,” said Charles Foster Johnson, executive director of Pastors for Texas Children.
