SB 8 voucher discussion. In response to @KingForTexas re difficulty with profound sped needs in rural schools - shared services arrangements (SSA) exist for small districts/charters and provisions in IDEA re publicly funded private placement to address this issue. #txed #txlege

If you break top admin salary down per student (enrollment is on each school's website):

St. Mark's - $764/student
St. John's - $773/student
Greenhill - $494/student
Cy-Fair ISD (top superintendent salary) - $4.41/student

SB 8 (voucher) and SB 418 (transfers) were not voted on by the committee. Votes must not have been there. #txed #txlege

How is restricting access to private education based on disability and income level legal?

If a private school accepts public money then they should be considered “serving the public”….so why doesn’t this apply?

.@ScottMuri (former supt of my childhood ISD @SBISD and current @EctorCountyISD supt) testifying for HB 11 (teacher bill), echoing @txcase testimony on the bill requesting that National Board Cert teachers be put on a higher TIA level. #txed #txlege

Yes!

Students who have IEPs are not "special education students." They are just students. They belong to every teacher they have. Receiving a service doesn't change a students identity as a student. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #Inclusion

Happy to support HB 2100 by @FourPriceTX. Thank you for recognizing mental health staffing needs by setting up professionals for loan repayment. #txed #txlege @txcase

If we want to improve special ed in @HoustonISD or @AustinISD, TEXAS must address the STATEWIDE shortage of school psychologists so districts can hire people to provide needed services. The student-SP ratio in Texas is UNACCEPTABLE: 1-2,338! #txlege #txed @DisRightsTx @brianlopeztx @HeathKeri @GinaForAustin @TexasAFT https://t.co/AFvtgJ18GH

[TCASE @txcase]

We think @teainfo appointing a conservator to @AustinISD is not addressing the BIG issues faced by LEAs across the state. The state needs to take ownership, not control #txed #txlege @RYHTexas @tasanet @tasbnews @tasbo @OfficialATPE @brianlopeztx https://t.co/J7797Lu65g
