School board members backed by Christian nationalists begin purging ideas they don't like, in addition to books. #txlege Houston Chronicle San Antonio Express-News #TxEd

Everything is bigger in Texas, except teacher pay.

Even with a state budget surplus of $18.2 billion*, Texas teachers make 23.4% less than comparable college-educated workers.

It is teacher appreciation week across Texas, let’s highlight the Texas GOP and Governor Greg Abbott, who do not appreciate our teachers, public schools, students, and Texas taxpayers as a matter fact they’re trying to destroy Texas public education. #txed #education

Carroll ISD looks like they are gearing up to be plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the Federal government.

They passed a resolution condemning changes to Title IX. The district also retained the services of Alliance Defending Freedom.

Unrelated I’m sure 🙄

Check it out! Friday was 'Big Check' Day for 353 ECISD teachers! They scored big with over $3.1 million in Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) awards! Superintendent Dr. Scott Muri led the celebrations, and let me tell you, the 'big check' parties were a blast! #txed #TeamECISD

Why do the pro-voucher/anti- #PubEd folks always lump in recapture & debt service payments in their per-student numbers? Is it that they don't understand school finance, or are they purposely trying to mislead people?

#txed

They purposely mislead people because they are all grifters on the payrolls of Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks and other elite donors.... They should all be removed. #Txed #txlege

We'll quote Zeph Capo from the rollout today of our latest #TxEd report: texasaft.org/wp-content/upl…

'Every layoff, every school closure, every student service cut – that's Gov. Abbott’s handiwork. It’s the failed policy of the #TxLege . What we’re seeing is #AbbottsElementary .'

When our public schools thrive, our communities thrive. The recent decisions by many public schools districts to lay off valuable staff represent a broader issue of flagrant and abusive disregard for Texas children by Greg Abbott.

Vote for a #txlege that funds #txed !

Happy 40th Anniversary to Cody Library! I was happy to present a flag flown over the Texas Capitol in honor of their 40 year anniversary! Thank you to Cody Library and its dedicated team for continuing to serve our constituents! San Antonio Public Library #SanAntonio #txed

This is a lie.

#txlege knows it’s a lie.

#txed teachers know it’s a lie.

Greg Abbott knows it’s a lie.

But he keeps lying anyway.

His political ambition is far outweighs his morality.

A shortage of education funding from the state is making it more difficult for local public school districts to meet the needs of their students. State legislators need to invest more dollars in the teachers and others who educate kids each day. #txlege #txed

Zeph Capo with Texas AFT said in a press conference this morning that teachers need raises and that the education profession is in crisis. #txed

Whenever I’m right in the middle of something, but notice someone’s made a fresh pot of coffee. #txed #txlege

Fact: Texas public schools have never had more money than they do right now.

The question the government monopoly does not want anyone asking: “where is it all going?”
