We did it. We just defeated Greg Abbott's voucher scam. The People’s House has spoken. I’m so proud of the bipartisan coalition in the Texas House that defended our schools and our kids.

In the end-of-block data team meeting, teams collaboratively analyze data from the common formative assessment and use the results to take action. Here are 7️⃣ steps to follow during this meeting! From Brilliance in the Building. bit.ly/3a2uxv9 @CrecArtsMiddle1

Joni’s Market is always a hit, but even more so when Joni herself is able to help out! Positive behavior incentives & a token economy teach lifelong skills! What would you spend your Buddy Bucks on?! 💰💵 #minettmemories #theminettconnection

”Last night, while waiting to board our plane, our daughter Carter was being her usual inquisitive self wanting to meet and say “hi” to everyone she could, until she walked up on this man. He reached out and asked if she wanted to sit with him. He pulled out his tablet and showed her how to draw with it, they watched cartoons together, and she offered him snacks. This wasn’t a short little exchange, this was 45 minutes. Watching them in that moment, I couldn’t help but think, different genders, different races, different generations, and the best of friends. This is the world I want for her. In a country that is so deeply divided by beliefs, I want her life to be filled with moments like this... not liberal or conservative republican or democrat, socialist or capitalist, just HUMAN. Joseph from Samsungus in Oklahoma, if this should happen to find you. Thank you for showing my daughter what kindness and compassion looks like. Continue to shine your light in the world.” Credit: Kevin Armentrout

If you support public schools (like most Texans) you must get involved. Spending tax $’s on private schools is not conservative! Stop using public education as a political game! #I❤️PubEd #fundPubEd
If you support school choice in Texas, you MUST get engaged. You matter most in this process. Get in the game, get involved, contact your elected officials, and make your voice heard. #txlege @TPPF

Will the Texas legislative session end with no raise for teachers, no funding for school safety, and no increase in the Basic Allotment? Really? Even with a $32 billion budget surplus? Really?? – at Odessa, TX

Public school funding should not be used as a political leverage. Please contact your legislators now and ask them to fund our public schools. #txlege
Public schools are in jeopardy. Funding for inflation is being held hostage to pass vouchers. Schools can't pay bills and provide cost of living adjustments without this funding. Funding schools shouldn't be tied to vouchers. Contact key lawmakers now: bit.ly/fundtxschools

So... they're subtracting funds, adding more testing, and dividing the population. This is one of the most ridiculously bad pieces of legislation I've seen in a long time.

Tx House Pub Ed Committee will now meet Monday at 8 am on SB 8. Only invited testimony but our Tx parents cannot be silenced. Submit written public comments. SB 8 will create a voucher program. It also gives the Tx Ed Commissioner greater control over testing.  #txed #txlege

If you ever wonder about the successes of @friscoisd, come to the 1st part of any school board meeting! I’m in awe at the amount of student recognition tonight in a wide variety of areas, from fine arts to entrepreneurship to athletics to military readiness. Wow! #fisdmadetoshine
