@RYHTexas Thank you, @RYHTexas. You are always lifting others up! Thank you for all you’re doing to support public education.

It’s clear that the business and parent community support their public schools! Thank you @DannyMassey44 for inviting your community to advocate for the engine that feeds the workforce pipeline in Texas. #txlege

Important piece from former Speaker Joe Straus about the state’s underfunding of public schools. In constant dollars, state funding for schools is down $10 billion since 2020. #txed #txlege https://t.co/uwCJ1Q7dhY

The state makes the majority of decisions regarding school funding. That’s why voting in Texas’ March 5 primary elections is so important to the future of public education. Research candidates and make a plan to vote today. 🗳️ #TxLege #TxEd #GOTV https://t.co/uDbyWQnNWC
