Governor @GregAbbott_TX warned the @CSalcedoShow that this might happen & that the legislature would have to quickly modify the initial threshold…Under left-wing control Texas Gov-Ed is a disaster. I hope the governor & @Potus @realDonaldTrump pressures the #txlege to act NOW!




The GOP has run Texas since 1995. Their ads promise to “fix what’s broken,” but they’ve been in charge for 30 YEARS. They didn’t inherit the problem. They ARE the problem. It’s time for change, y’all. 🤠


In 2008, 62% of teachers said they were very satisfied with their job. In 2022, that dropped to 12%. We've got a serious problem brewing in education...





Governor @GregAbbott_TX is committed to delivering lasting property tax relief for all Texas homeowners and has a plan to do just that. To local governments who continue to unecessarily hike property taxes: No More. Read the plan here: govgregabbott.substack.com/p/governor-abb…

Greg Abbott makes 5.5 million public school kids take a deeply flawed STAAR test in the name of “accountability” while kids in private school who get a taxpayer-funded voucher get a pass. That’s wrong. As a mother with a son in public school, when I’m governor I’ll make it right by ending the STAAR test & the voucher scam.


One should assume every education bill or new K-12 policy priority is vendor-driven until proven otherwise. When it’s not, it’s easy to prove otherwise. #txlege


Nearly three in four applicants to Texas’ new voucher program are likely already enrolled in private or home school, new data shows. bit.ly/3P0qgwr

The #txlege created a system where private schools could receive state funds through ESAs based solely on enrollment (with no reduction for absences), but still reduces payments to public schools for every day of student absence. Fixed costs for private or public schools remain the same regardless of attendance. Attendance is controlled by parents/guardians. Schools can’t make students attend. They can influence, encourage and also spend energy filing for failure to attend. But the consequences for court filing (and willingness to enforce) vary by county and court, and never makes up the lost dollars (none of the fines go back to schools). Also all these truancy enforcement efforts are flagged as “central office costs” by public school detractors. Public schools, alone, already have an attendance incentive because they will be taken over for poor student performance. Continue to punish public schools for performance, if that is achieving desired student outcomes, but stop punishing for attendance rates. Or change the system so ESA payments are affected by attendance (not enrollment), but I think that is the lesser choice.

Well, what do you know? *76%* of Texas school voucher applications come from families whose children are not enrolled in public schools. Less than 1% of public and charter school families have applied for vouchers. It's straight up welfare for the wealthy #txlege
