Our students should be valued by more than a single test taken each spring 🌸

Does the state's grading system reflect the safety, teacher quality, and career readiness at your local school? Ask your primary election candidates to look #BeyondTheFallingSTAAR and measure what really matters.

Texas currently requires teachers to invest 8.25% of their gross pay into the Texas Retirement System. If school choice passes, that amount will be increased bc, per Legislative report, Texas cannot afford both school choice and TRS. #txed #txlege

High-quality pre-K has a remarkable impact on children’s reading skills.

At the start of the 2022-23 school year, only 41% of pre-K students in Texas demonstrated reading proficiency. By the end of the school year, that number jumped to 83%. Through the development of emergent literacy skills, pre-K programs improve kindergarten readiness and create a foundation for long-term learning.

#TeamTSTA applauds the House members, Democrats and Republicans, who stood up for their public schools today by voting to strip a costly voucher provision from House Bill 1.
Read full release: https://t.co/Wsl6qmcBvN

[TSTA/NEA @txstateteachers]

The voucher bill has passed in the Senate and is headed to the Texas House. It’s time for us to remind our Texas representative that we oppose vouchers in all forms!

Public schools are legally required to allow access to curriculum, school libraries, and what children are taught.

You know who isn’t legally required to allow access to these things?

Private schools!

And YOU want to allow the use of public taxpayer 💵 for school vouchers.

[TSTA/NEA @txstateteachers]

HB 100 has been poisoned with a voucher amendment. It wasn't great to start with, now it's terrible for TX students and public schools. Tell your senator to vote NO: https://t.co/hhwRm80mab

[Matthew Gutiérrez, Ed.D. @DrMattGutierrez]

The #txlege #SB8 will not eliminate STAAR but instead add additional tests while including the largest voucher bill in the country. Would private schools be included in testing? No.

The comm. will consider this hastily drafted bill on Monday with only "invited" testimony. #txed

Over 5.5 million public school kids are relying on us!

[Texas Association of School Boards @tasb_news]

The House Pub Ed Committee will vote on SB 8 Monday. Public testimony will NOT be allowed. The bill would create a costly voucher program and requires more state tests for our students. Act now: https://t.co/nWMmrMUK2b
