Regardless of how you feel about the past week in Texas, it’s a reminder that the bottom of your ballot matters. Judges and school boards are making some of the most important decisions in the state right now.

The health and safety of our students, educators and communities are all on the line and the state agency charged with protecting our kids punts… Texas must do better! #teamTSTA #txlege

@edwonkkimmy @ChandraKus @AtlasLaura A bad shingles episode can last up to a year and put you out of work for weeks or even months. Factor that into a cost-benefit analysis.

@ChandraKus @AtlasLaura The vaccine is expensive. Being poor, I ignore it. But I took the free COVID shot.

@ChandraKus @AtlasLaura Get the shingles vaccine as soon as you can. It is worth every penny.

@AtlasLaura New info for me. I had chicken pox twice. The 2nd time not nearly as bad, still awful. Now I’m at high risk for shingles but you need to be at least 50 to get the vaccine.

@AtlasLaura It still occurs among the unvaccinated.

⁦@Rob_Rogers⁩ couldn’t have nailed this any harder if he had used the hammer ofThor.

As requested @LeonardPittsJr1

@dgratcliffe @scottbraddock Not sure how you do a session without the Budget Board or the Legislative Council either.

@scottbraddock This will be especially tricky if the special session is called on Sept. 1 or later because all the staff will be furloughed if the governor follows through with his threat.

That'll make a special session of the Legislature awkward #txlege

@RatliffT I love that big, happy smile!

Well. Today saw #txlege sine die, I put my son on a one-way plane ticket to NYC to pursue his dream and tomorrow I celebrate my 30th anniversary with my #txed retired teacher bride. What a great way to start the interim.

The very definition of a royal jackass. You suck Governor Abbott!

Just another example among many Texas needs to pause charter growth. dallasnews.com/news/education…

Tell #txlege House members to reject any bill — including bills coming out of conference committees — that includes test-based funding for #txed.  secure.ngpvan.com/STPU3c9HRkWFzX…

State legislators should trust students, teachers and parents when they demand public education be free, equitably funded by the state, and governed by local elections. We tried the corporate way. It only works for people who like to fly in private planes. #txlege

Exactly!

Thank you Senator West for standing up for educators!

This is NOT leadership. It’s ignorant and cruel. dallasnews.com/news/politics/…

@RatliffT @uiltexas You must be bursting! Congratulations to all!

Proud of my boy for graduating with a 4.0 from OU Musical Theatre. Look out Broadway!! It all started with TMEA and @uiltexas and #txed public school theatre. So many helped him get to this point.

@mcconathyghs @MrsLAinsworth @MikeMorath Fact

@MrsLAinsworth @MikeMorath

Exactly what are Mike Morath’s credentials?

#HB3270 would give an extraordinary amount of new authority to the APPOINTED #txed commissioner to override the will of the people regarding matters of their local public schools. Tell your #txlege Rep to vote NO on HB3270! bit.ly/3270TakeOver

Pay attention people! This legislation would allow Commandant Morath to take over any school district while exempting charters from investigations of wrongdoing. Op-Ed: A school district takeover at any cost texassignal.com/op-ed-a-school…
