JustFundItTX

Thanks to all the Just Fund It TX parents across the state who advocated ALL YEAR for funding TX public schools. We stopped vouchers, but still no $$$ for students, teachers, schools. Happy Holidays! mailchi.mp/99df07e05f32/t… #txlege #txed #vote #justfundit

Texas House adjourns fourth special session — leaving vouchers, school safety and elections bills unfinished texastribune.org/2023/12/05/tex… via @TexasTribune #txed #txlege

A handy calculator for how much Greg Abbott has proposed to invest in your neighborhood school: Take 5,156,972 students in public schools. Multiply it by 0. Greg Abbott's school funding plan gave $0 to our public schools despite a $33 billion budget surplus. #txlege

Greg Abbott's school funding plan gave $0 to our public schools. Abbott failed to support our #txed students, teachers, and neighborhood schools. I'm proud to stand with the pro-public education majority in the Texas House ready to fully fund our schools. #txlege

Speaker @DadePhelan tells a largely empty Texas House that they'll stand at ease til 1pm Friday as they wait on the Senate to do, well, anything I guess #txlege

Not only are "school choice" supporters disappointed, but supporters of public schools are angry. Teachers aren't getting a raise and schools across Texas are considering layoffs at a time when the state sits on more money than it's ever had nbcdfw.com/news/politics/… #TxLege #TxEd

Thank you! Your voices were heard. The Texas House voted 84-63 (all D's and 21 R's) to remove the voucher (ESA) from HB1. Many thanks to public education advocates and the 84 rep's who heard you! #txed #txlege #justfundit #vote

The Texas House has begun to debate vouchers—again. Watch at house.texas.gov/video-audio/ #txed

So much for parent-backed vouchers. Texas PTA ain’t buying it. Neither is the #txlege House. No vouchers in Texas. Not now. Not ever. @txstatepta #txed @dallasnews

"Only way families are guaranteed choice & accountability is through well-funded public schools, where every parent has choice to enroll their child, choice to be engaged in their future, the right to certain protections, and access to information ensuring accountability" #txlege

In New Hampshire, 89% of their voucher program goes to rich parents whose kids are already in private schools. That's why Greg Abbott's billionaire mega-donors are trying to pass their voucher scam. Vouchers are welfare for the wealthy. #txlege

If you haven't sent a quick note to urge your legislators to fund our schools instead of investing in voucher scams, do it now! p2a.co/joJf6Be They vote tomorrow! #Txed #txlege #justfundit #NoVouchers

The TX House will be hearing HB1 (the "everything but the kitchen sink" education bill that has a big fat voucher in it) on Friday. Please let your reps know that you want public schools funded, NOT defunded by ESAs/Vouchers. p2a.co/joJf6Be #txed #txlege #NoVouchers

HB 1 as passed out of committee includes a UNIVERSAL ESA voucher that will soon cost $2 billion every year. This will make it even more difficult for Texas to fulfill its constitutional obligation to fund public schools. #txlege #txed

Call to action: One more time- Tell lawmakers to vote NO on vouchers and fund TX public schools now! Click here: p2a.co/joJf6Be #txed #txlege #justfundit #novouchers

Want to know where vouchers (if passed) will go in Texas? Look at Arizona. They went to universal vouchers for the 22/23 school year. More than 50% of voucher funds went to kids not enrolled in public schools 53% of new education spending will go to 8% of students #txlege #txed

If you believe taxpayer $$ should fund anti-#LGBTQ and creationist schools, I can’t convince you otherwise. But if your goal is academic achievement, #schoolvouchers have some of the worst results ever seen. Vouchers have nothing to do with student success @dallasnews
