John R. Pitts had a heart attack this evening at the Texas Capitol. He is currently at a local hospital and is in stable condition. We will continue to keep the community informed and we thank you immensely for your continued prayers.

TAMSA delivered this one-pager to House Public Education Committee members today. We oppose the additional testing at all levels that are written in the #CSSB8. A complete change of testing regime deserves thoughtful discussion. #txed #txlege

Thank you @Bailesfortx for being sensible and accountable to the 5.4 M Texas public school children. The changes in our assessment and accountability system, among the other expensive items, proposed in CSSB #SB8 should be heard in public with witness testimony. #txed #txlege

URGENT CALL TO ACTION: A voucher bill (CSSB8) will be voted on by House Public Ed TODAY. It completely changes the testing system w/ all power going to Comm. Morath. Some members may vote for it be/c they think it improves testing but it doesn't!!! Make calls now! #txed #txlege

The well-circulated House version of SB 8 DOES NOT get rid of STAAR. The test would be very much alive in grades 3-8. A vote for SB 8 is NOT a vote to abolish STAAR. #txlege #txed

We are stunned that Rep, Bell postponed #HB4402, the only bill this session that would have reduced the impact of #STAAR on K-8 accountability!! This would have provided more valuable data and context of school performance, rather than one test. Sad day for kids! #txed #txlege

TX has $33B in surplus & $27B in the Rainy Day fund, but not enough to keep up with inflation for public ed? Why not bust the spending cap that #txlege created & can kill w/ a 2/3 vote? We can have prop tax relief AND keep up w/inflation for #txed w/$14B. #justfundittx

Call to Action 2/3 April is testing season. We need bills on assessment and accountability heard this week or the legislature will run out of time. There are dozens of bills filed on testing, but HB 4402 and HB 4514 target the testing issue fully.
