Not enough Texans know that retired teachers do not have access to social security.
Teachers are entirely reliant on the state for their retirement.
That's why as Lt. Governor I will fight tooth-and-nail to finally give our retired teachers a cost-of-living-adjustment.
DADS ON DUTY: After a violent week of fighting at a Louisiana high school, parents knew something had to change. So, a group of dads decided to show up not just for their kids - but for the whole student body - to help maintain a positive environment. @SteveHartmanCBS has more.
In a recent study, 54% of all teachers indicated a strong desire to leave the profession within the next two years.
Leaders, we have to fix this trend.
Politicians, the answer isn’t in making it easier to become a teacher. The solution is in supporting those who are.

We were saddened to hear the news about the passing of #WilCo Pct. 3 Constable Kevin Stofle today. Many #georgetowntx employees got to know him through his time at @georgetowntxpd, and he will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his friends, families, and coworkers.
@kkdumez I am with y’all 100%. I had a child this week get so upset because her father named her and now her father isn’t around and she didn’t know how she was gonna ask him. It killed me.
We have a teacher shortage because we have an attrition crisis. Teachers are leaving in droves because they don’t feel supported, valued, & they are simply burnt out. We have to do a better job of taking care of our teachers. Our students are depending on it!
