Our community has experienced another tragic loss. Jennifer was a fantastic co-director and district partner for our Learning Ladder Daycare, loving our youngest Eagles so well. Please pray for our sweet Lilah as she heals, and for those who loved Cooper, Jennifer, and Hudson.🙏🏼🤍

We are watching the future of Texas bloom, one student at a time. 🌸 Wishing our educators and families a beautiful Spring Break! The future of Texas — our communities, our economy, our citizenry — depends on how well we prepare all students today. Supporting and strengthening our schools takes all of us. We engage Texans in advocacy efforts to support public policy solutions that invest in Texas’ 5.5 million public school students. We work in communities throughout the state to educate, engage, and activate advocates who care about public education – all while keeping five values in mind: integrity, democracy, courage, equity, and pragmatism. Start your advocacy journey with us: raiseyourhandtexas.org #TexasSpring #BluebonnetSeason #SpringBreakTexas #TexasPublicSchools #LoneStarState #RaiseYourHandTexas #TxEd

🚨 FINAL DAY: This is the last day to reach out to your primary election candidates and ask for a better assessment and accountability system for Texas students. While the Legislature recently passed House Bill 8 to make changes and add extra tests to the state’s school accountability system, the majority of Texas public schools are still graded on a single high-stakes spring test taken on a single day. Let’s do better for our kids. Send a message now: go.ryht.org/morethantests #MeasureWhatMattersTX #BeyondTheFallingSTAAR #TxEd #TxLege #TexasPublicSchools #AFRatings #TexasElections #STAAR

💯, Yes! While candidates are forming their platforms for November and immediate bill filing after election, we need them to know what their constituents want...a more robust accountability system!! Use Go.ryht.org/morethantests to tell them today!
RaiseYourHandTexas@RYHTexas

Our students should be valued by more than a single test taken each spring 🌸 Does the state's grading system reflect the safety, teacher quality, and career readiness at your local school? Ask your primary election candidates to look #BeyondTheFallingSTAAR and measure what really matters. Act now: go.ryht.org/morethantests #MeasureWhatMattersTX #TxEd #TxLege #TexasPublicSchools #AFRatings #TexasElections #STAAR

There are two ways to vote right now in Texas. One is at the polls in the primaries. Early voting is underway through 2/27 and Primary Election Day is 3/3. And there's one more at go.ryht.org/morethantests! Tell the candidates how you feel about the A-F accountability system. #TxEd

Strong leadership starts with strong public schools. This Presidents Day, we honor the U.S. presidents who knew that public education is the foundation of a thriving democracy. From Dwight D. Eisenhower to Franklin D. Roosevelt, history’s most impactful leaders understood: investing in students today means securing the future of our country. #PresidentsDay #TXEd #RaiseYourHandTexas #TexasPublicSchools #EducationIsLeadership

Kicked off our team book study on Unreasonable Hospitality this week. The question guiding our learning: How do we lead with care, intention, and humanity—every single day? Grateful for a team committed to growing together. #UnreasonableHospitality @WillGuidara

The why behind the what we do is a necessary part of the conversation! It's what connects people to ideas. Do what Amy said!! And if you want to talk about how to do that as you advocate, let's talk!

“When you open up a new Career and Technical Education center, tell more than just the surface; tell more than just the numbers. Tell WHY you opened up that center. Talk about school funding and accountability. Interview a student who graduated and would have loved that center. Tell the story of why you are doing the things that you do.” - Amy Dodson, @RYHT_AdvocacyEd, at the "Beyond Friday Night Lights: Rallying Your Community for New Public Education Wins" session at @tasanet / #TASA2026 #TxEd
