Myth: “Texas #txed public education is being funded at its highest level ever.”

Reality: In inflation-adjusted dollars, funding has dropped $590 per student over the past 10 years.

My buddy Gabe Grantham w/Texas 2036 makes an excellent point about math at Texas Tribune. If we just talk about “recovery” to pre-COVID math levels we are needlessly limiting ourselves and still leave 1/2 of Texas students behind. #txlege #txed

#Texas is struggling to fill teacher positions now. Greg Abbott wants to ban #LGBTQ teachers??? #txlege #txed

Continue?!? State funding for public schools is at an all-time low because Gov. Abbott insisted on pushing his school voucher scheme. He got $6 million dollars from an out-of-state activist. But schools are left with deficit budgets despite State’s $30B surplus. #txlege #txed

THIS! 👇👇👇 #txed #txlege

Sandy Kress Brandon Creighton It’s all over K-12, so why did Creighton & Brad Buckley carry the $2.44B Amplify vendor bill (SB 2565/HB1605) which is plagued with paganism, inappropriate content and DEI? #txed

This isn’t hard.

Instead of hiring cute little interns and frat boys from UT, the #txlege

No doubt TX Gov, Lt Gov and other extreme Rs want the same here. #vote #vOUCHersHurt #txed #txlege

looking at you #Texas #Txed #txlege

To maintain 2021 standard of living, the average Texas household now spends $12,348 more per year. The the #txlege Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick haven’t increased the #txed basic allotment since 2019. Let that sink in….. #shame

Great presentation this AM by Eli Melendrez w Texas AFT on just how harmful Abbott’s voucher agenda is taking place this morning at the Student Engaged in Advancing Texas (SEAT) at the Texas State Capitol. These young people are a force! #txed #txlege ⁦Pastors for Children⁩

If the “grassroots” has any type of validity they wouldn’t stop pressuring the #txlege until they got answers SD7RepWomen Magic Circle Republican Women’s Club The Yellow Rose of Texas Republican Women #Txed

The ignorant keep blaming schools and districts when in fact the state is the one forcing them to do so. #TXed #Txlege the state of Texas will defund and close down ISDs that dont pass along the students. There is no student or parent accountability. Laziness is rewarded

An agenda by members and for members to advocate for public schools at the Texas State Capitol and beyond. #txlege #txed

Texas Education Agency across the district on #txed #staar test day for Elem ELA the text to speech function isn’t working. This disparages disabled students. Yet another failure of the non-elected, non-accountable TEA!
