Public School accountability exists through local governance

School Board Members
…are elected officials
…hire the superintendent
…approve the budget
…hire the external auditor
…monitor student progress

Private & charter schools have no accountability to taxpayers

We can’t let all the bandwidth be used by vouchers. So, please use this link https://t.co/iwu6xRIE9g to send a message to your Rep & Senator then share with at least 10 people!

Vouchers divert scarce public funds from public schools to private schools and vendors. TX is already $4,000 behind the national average in per-pupil spending. Tell your legislator to PAY TEACHERS, NOT PRIVATE SCHOOLS: https://t.co/KiFdnQL6tf

[Amy Ingram 🦁🏀 @CoachIngram10]

This could’ve been your moment @GovAbbott to show support for teachers and fully fund our schools. You could’ve brought all Texans together on this issue but instead you’re demeaning a great profession that is much needed. As a teacher I want to know WHY do you hate us?

[RaiseYourHandTexas @RYHTexas]

Everything is increasing in costs, but teacher salaries are stagnant. It is time to give teachers a real raise. Learn about the challenges our teachers face due to the lack of adequate compensation: https://t.co/JmQe43r6V6 #TxEd #TxLege #InvestinTXTeachers

Texans oppose any form of vouchers, also called education savings accounts, that use taxpayer dollars to subsidize private schools and vendors. Tell your legislator that public dollars should remain in public schools. https://t.co/7JPmLBepxX #TxEd #vOUCHersHurt #TxLege

[RaiseYourHandTexas @RYHTexas]

Texas public schools welcome and accept all students. Private schools that accept Education Savings Accounts and vouchers are not required to adhere to federal IDEA standards, failing Texas students. #vOUCHersHurt #TxEd #TxLege

[RaiseYourHandTexas @RYHTexas]

In Texas, we know better. We’ve seen the research, and it’s clear that voucher programs don’t improve academic outcomes for students. Contact your legislators and tell them you support our Texas students and public schools: https://t.co/7JPmLBepxX #TxEd #vOUCHersHurt #TxLege
