The explosive growth in mandatory compliance training for public school teachers in Texas (but not deemed essential for private schools receiving ESAs) is absurd.
Every year more is added but nothing is ever taken away. One local ISD has 18 different required trainings.

On April 10, the Texas House will gather to cast one of its most important votes of this legislative session - passing its version of the state budget. While about seven weeks of the legislative session still remain, ‘House Budget Night’ is a decisive moment for many legislative efforts.
House members can support these efforts this Thursday, April 10 by voting for any amendments to the budget that increase the basic allotment and/or increase teacher pay. What happens on April 10 will set the table for what is possible for the rest of the session. Ask your House member to fund our schools and invest in our teachers now!

@RogersForTexas Thanks @RogersForTexas 👏🏼 we know parents won’t actually have the choice - private schools will have the choice. Our students w/ special needs deserve better! 🚫 Vouchers!
TX underfunds special education by $2B/yr and then promotes outsourcing education to private schools (that can discriminate against children) to allow for profit off of parent frustration AND to save the state $$ on sped costs. #txed#txlege@txcase https://t.co/KhkSPf8r1e
