According to Sheriff @AndyLouderback, there are 46 prisons in TX, & 7 out of 10 inmates don’t have a high school diploma—which costs Texans $2.5 billion yearly. “We’ve got to do something different,” & he believes funding full-day pre-K is the answer. #PowerOfPreK#TxEd#TxLege
50 students participated in the 2019 Bee in a Box 8th grade Citizen Bee here at Region 7 ESC. Congratulations to our winners from Lindale, Pine Tree, and Bullard!

We hear you, Scott. We are mystified by the arrogance of some folks! We applaud the partnership of business leaders in our schools—just like we do that of faith leaders. But practice the humility of submission to our trained, experienced, dedicated #txed leaders! #txlege@tasanet
"Let’s be sure to affirm the hard work of teachers who daily encourage students to learn & grow not only in knowledge but also as productive citizens & compassionate humans. They are shaping future leaders of our nation & world." @TexasAFT@OfficialATPE@texascta@txstateteachers

God, As the 86th #txlege begins, grant our legislators the mind & heart to serve all Texans, to make decisions that help & heal all children, and to give our public school teachers all that they need to adequately educate our children. Amen @pastors4kykids @pastors4OKkids
Privatization of public education is an inherent contradiction, an egregious violation, a serious corruption, an historical revision, and a tragic renunciation of the Common Good. Decent people everywhere should fight this immoral and unAmerican idea with all their might.
