This week marked the close of our spring Regional Workshops, with more than 90 trustees attending in Canyon. Across 14 workshops statewide, TASB staff supported trustee leadership development on key governance topics. #togetherforTxED
It was a productive meeting this afternoon with members of our Legislative Advisory Council (LAC) here at TASB HQ. School leaders from across Texas worked together to develop statewide legislative priorities in preparation for the 90th Texas Legislature. #TogetherforTXED
We are pleased to announce that Gonzalo Salazar will be joining the TASB Executive Search Services team as a senior consultant on July 1.
Welcome to TASB – we’re excited you’re on the team!
🧵(1/10) THREAD: Texas just released the demographic data on who's getting school vouchers.
It confirms what we've been warning about for years.
And when you see where vouchers actually came from, you'll understand why.
Congratulations to Vernagene Mott, named the 2026 recipient of TASB’s James B. Crow Innovation in Governance Award! Thank you for your decades of leadership and service to Texas public education. 👏 #TXED

If there ever was an election where public education was on the ballot, it is the #2026Election
The attempt to destroy your neighborhood public school is very real.
You must stop it.

Watching national and state-based voucher lobby lose their minds trying to war-room data on Arizona waste/misuse and Texas subsidies for already-private kids reminds me of early 2023.
They must be getting some internals showing vouchers just in the toilet politically.

Well, what do you know?
*76%* of Texas school voucher applications come from families whose children are not enrolled in public schools. Less than 1% of public and charter school families have applied for vouchers.
It's straight up welfare for the wealthy #txlege
TASB 2026 Governance Camp is happening now! Thank you to our student presenters who provide @tasb_news board members invaluable insight about their personal school experiences.

@scottbraddock Yep, saw it happen right in front of me today at a Williamson County polling location. The two ladies had been in line for about an hour.
Happy Texas Public Schools Week! 🎉🏫
Together, we celebrate the educators, students, families, and communities that make our public schools the heart of Texas. Every day, they open doors of opportunity and prepare our future leaders.

Here’s one more video from @AASAHQ NCE in Nashville, where TASA President-elect @Dr_RNivens, superintendent of @LamarCISD, just became the 1st #txed superintendent in 25 years to be named the National Superintendent of the Year! @Region4ESC#InspiringLeaders
Texas vouchers are live. But in the 26-county Panhandle, only 12 private schools accept them—and all but 3 are in Amarillo.
Statewide? 61% of counties have ZERO voucher-accepting schools.
For most rural families, this isn't school choice. It's a paper program.
#TxEd#TxLege
Vouchers are open in Texas. But for most rural families, the hard work of educating kids is still falling on public schools — with no real plan from the state to fix what’s broken. I wrote about what this means out here. 👇
