Educational Publishing

@lynnsdavenport @GinaHinojosaTX @GregAbbott_TX Maybe someone should also investigate the forced reviews authorized by TEA. TEA will purchase a program that wasn’t submitted by a publisher. If the program is found to have errors, districts are prohibited from purchasing. Hypocrisy? They are gaming the system.

[Kyle Warren @warrenin]

@lynnsdavenport @GinaHinojosaTX @GregAbbott_TX All about appropriations. Once approved, there’s freedom to spend. Without questioning the merits, maybe focus on data and ROI. Has HB1605 made a positive impact on public education, or has it simply robbed districts of local control?

[Kyle Warren @warrenin]

@pamlittletx @lynnsdavenport if you get an audience with TEA leadership. Please ask them when taxpayers can expect a return on investment for sales of Bluebonnet Learning. If taxpayers funded development, we should have access to receipts and redistribution of capital.

[Kyle Warren @warrenin]

@GinaForAustin @gregabbott Is TEA creating the assessment? If so, it will probably align with Bluebonnet Learning and should be free, since taxpayers have already picked up the tab to cover TEA operations.

[Kyle Warren @warrenin]

@GinaForAustin I invite you to propose a higher tax on single vendor awards, state contracts. It should also apply to legislative income earned while in office, not inclusive of per diems. Any income earned should be taxed at 75%. Taxpayers should always see a return on investment.

@MicahhParsons11 Football contracts are the worst agreements in pro sports. Contracts should be guaranteed, and then there may be fewer holdouts. 🏀and ⚾️ are fully guaranteed and have arbitration process available to players and teams. Analyze 🏈player cuts prior to pension benefits. Harsh!

[Kyle Warren @warrenin]

@GinaForAustin Dig in to the ROI RE Bluebonnet Learning and HB1605 appropriation. Rumor has it that only 6% of the state has chosen the state-authored curriculum. Not the best endorsement of TEA leadership and their plan for education.

@JaredLPatterson I find it interesting that this past session including many bills that protected children, awesome work. Only for the adults in the room to behave as children, dysfunctional. Very embarrassing!

[Kyle Warren @warrenin]

@GinaForAustin Antitrust. They’ve created a monopoly. TEA has let their ambitions get far ahead of their wisdom. Taxes fuel TEA’s curriculum, and we, as investors, have no vote. If it were an elected and not appointed position, Morath wouldn’t lead TEA. No receipts. TEA for profit?

[Kyle Warren @warrenin]

@JSerravallo Awesome addition! Wish you both the best.

[Kyle Warren @warrenin]

@AlexDuncanTX @hanes_tracy1776 Amen

[Kyle Warren @warrenin]

@GinaForAustin @coachkevinrich 4 legislative sessions as commissioner and zero ROI. Instead of oversight and audit, we keep funding failed ventures and doubling down.

@GregAbbott_TX Should also ban legislative social media. Maybe then they will focus on the law and not self aggrandizing. Maybe then we would have more unity. Let’s adopt a “hands in Texas” approach and abandon our current prioritization of isolationism. We all want to win!

[Kyle Warren @warrenin]

@GinaForAustin Interesting that the same leaders who should be held accountable are the same people leading the takeovers. If they knew what they were doing, districts would thrive. Leadership in ISDs isn’t the problem. It’s TEA, private equity. They’ve taken ISDs out of the formula.

[Kyle Warren @warrenin]

@lynnsdavenport @Jacky68262230 As taxpayers, we are all investors in TEA-created resources and deserve visibility to a dashboard showing adopters and revenue generated by Bluebonnet Learning. If not, TEA should lose its nonprofit status and operate as a private business.

[Kyle Warren @warrenin]

@donwinslow We had an election, and the American people overwhelmingly chose Donald Trump…or against radical liberal leadership. Celebrate our independence and freedom and wait on the next election. Your message is one of fear and hate, and America isn’t about either of those things.

[Kyle Warren @warrenin]

@sbellsnyder @CourtGore Ask your colleagues why TEA’s curriculum doesn’t disqualify them from operating as a nonprofit. If they had to use resources provided by the private sector, it would bankrupt their attempt to launch bluebonnet learning. Couldn’t afford it w/o taxpayers. Would like to see ROI.

[Kyle Warren @warrenin]

@JaredLPatterson @GregAbbott_TX Thanks for giving us what’s ours! The money is coming from the record surplus, correct? Meaning, we were taxed, taxed, and taxed some more. Then, out of the kindness of your hearts, you gave a little back. Only for the appraisal office to snatch out of our hands. Thanks!

[Kyle Warren @warrenin]

@GregAbbott_TX I hope the person in charge of financially engineering appropriations isn’t your accountant. If so, you deserve an audit. This year’s session helped no one. Is TEA operating as a for profit business? I’d like to see sales report for Bluebonnet Learning, as an investor.
