@bradj_TX Hey Brad, just letting you know there's an error in the spreadsheet. The current incumbent in SBOE 13 is Tiffany Clark. You have her previous challenger as the incumbent.

Teachers & students deserve LESS testing, not more. HB 8 would expand STAAR to 51 tests. Contact your House member today before the session ends, which could be as soon as tonight: https://t.co/Zsw6APvFCZ

[Tricia Cave @ATPE_TriciaC]

The House is currently under a quorum break, which means they cannot conduct business.

Please let me know below what you think of these bills.

Good morning!

In case you haven’t heard, there has been movement on testing/accountability in the legislature over the past few days. 🧵

The House and Senate have filed identical bills.

House: https://t.co/eLGvjeHP5i

Senate: https://t.co/wzk2biBFd7

[ATPE @OfficialATPE]

Lawmakers say they are "eliminating STAAR." But HB 8/SB 8 might not deliver what educators + parents expect. So what’s really in the bills?

🎯 Get the facts from ATPE's @TeachtheVote: https://t.co/nuRWCGD5yS

[Tricia Cave @ATPE_TriciaC]

There has been action on testing in #txlege in the past 48 hours.

HB 8 filed: https://t.co/eLGvjeHP5i

SB 8 filed: https://t.co/wzk2biBFd7

Senate hearing on SB 8 tomorrow at 9 am or on adjournment: https://t.co/4aRF28ZquY

What do you think about these bills?

@scottbraddock Not at all happy about this news. Messing with my Saturday routine!

Seriously, though, I hope new doors open and they’re even better than the old doors.

[Tricia Cave @tdcave]

@bradj_TX Thank you for this!

[Tricia Cave @tdcave]

@bradj_TX The irony of that last sentence.

[Tricia Cave @tdcave]

@bradj_TX The fact that this is still ongoing is by far the best thing on X from the 89th. 😂

[Tricia Cave @tdcave]

Way to go @ATPE_HeatherS!

[ATPE @OfficialATPE]

.@ATPE_HeatherS spoke with @fox7austin @KoskionFOX7 about the complexities in #HB2 and how it funds #txed. https://t.co/Q8Mb2ROzr3

[Tricia Cave @tdcave]

@jaspscherer I’m not in a headspace where I’m ready to think about that right now. Lol.
