Had the honor of being named a Distinguished Educator by one of my former tennis kiddos and top kids at our school. Makes me have faith that what we do makes a difference after all. #publiceducationmatters

The James Madison Fellowship is one of the most competitive academic honors in the country. They pick just one civics teacher per state, and I’m proud to represent Texas for 2026. Guess the grad school grind was worth it after all!#PublicEducationMatters

For those that don’t know, Josh was a Klein Collins grad and returned to be the Head tennis coach years later. He’s recently shared his battle with cancer. He’s a hell of a coach and even better person. If you can help it would go to a great cause.

Started following Dane’s journey via insta last summer as he battled through ITFs and Challengers. Absolutely legendary stuff. All he talks about is the process, the hard work , and mindset. These are the stories we need more of!

AP Gov had a great time with @ConstitutingUSA learning about founding documents and scholarship opportunities. Thanks for a great day! #Civics

Two former students reached out this week. One got accepted to the Air Force Academy and the other accepted a mission trip to Madagascar.
Both took time to personally thank me and the others who helped make those opportunities possible
This is why our work matters #publicedu

People wonder what teachers do all summer. Well, when we’re not in school we get to enjoy being parents to our own kiddos. And that ladies and gentlemen is what it’s all about 🥹 #summer2025

In just 5 years, private school vouchers will cost MORE than the entire 8.2 billion proposed this biennial for public education. 6% of kids in private schools will get the same tax payer funding as 94% of kids enrolled in public ed.
Let that soak in…

Here’s the trick: When teacher salaries go up but the basic allotment doesn’t, school districts owe more to TRS without more help from the state. Why? TRS is tied to BA.
No real BA increase = no formula relief =school districts take the hit. #txed #txlege #makeitmakesense

Public schools are the backbone of our communities. Efforts to require a public vote on school vouchers aren’t about politics—they’re about priorities. Vouchers pull funding away from neighborhood schools, impacting every student, family, and teacher. Texans deserve a choice!

“The school voucher program could do real harm to Texas high school football.
I don’t mean to sound alarmist, but there’s no other way to put it.”

@RenaeEze @GregAbbott_TX Public education is not a monopoly bc it’s widely considered a public good. Attending a public school does not significantly reduce the opportunity for another student to attend. But let’s play the monopoly scenario. Who’s responsible ? Oh yeah, it’s Gregg! He’s Governor!

A Texas-Sized School Choice Bill May Be a Model for Other States
Governor @GregAbbott_TX: “Those who are entrenched in the status quo do not believe in school choice because it disrupts the monopoly that they have on education.”

As Dept Chair I get to interact with 27 amazing public educators on a daily basis. If funds get diverted and budgets cut how many fewer will there be?
By 2030 vouchers estimated cost will be almost 5 billion. How many more will be gone then? How big will our class sizes be?

Vouchers are controversial not based on the # of states w/ a program. It's controversial b/c we expect elected officials to use evidence from rigorous studies to make decisions, such as studies from OH, LA, IN finding that students using vouchers have statistically significant negative achievement outcomes. @GinaForAustin @jamestalarico @TexasAFT @tasanet @TEPSAtalk @RYHTexas @EveryTxn @txstateteachers @MomsAGAbbott @DianeRavitch #txlege

No matter what the Democrats want you to think, school choice isn’t controversial. In fact, over 30 states in America already have school choice programs. It’s time Texas joins them.
