And ... It's up! The Book-Loving Texan's Guide to the May 2024 School Board elections is live. I've started with 9 districts, including North East ISD, Eanes, Keller, Katy, GCISD. Please use this to organize & mobilize--and check back! More will be added! docs.google.com/document/d/13V…

“Because of our training and experience, we know that chaplains are not a replacement for school counselors or safety measures in our public schools.” - more than 170 professional chaplains in Texas. Fortunately, school boards & #txed are listening, unlike the #txlege

In the 2010 election, I won on election night by 16 votes out of >50K votes cast. After multiple recounts and an election challenge with a House-appointed tribunal, I ultimately won by only 4 votes. I'm a walking civics lesson. Every. Vote. Counts. #txlege

Rep @DrewDarbyTX and @RaneyForTexas are reminding the House of the 2011 budget cuts to #txed that have never been fully restored in addition to inflation. #txlege
Thanks Houston Faith Community for supporting public schools and saying NO VOUCHERS! These letters and thousands more are being delivered to #txlege offices with a clear message: Keep Public Dollars in Public Schools! #novouchers #voucherscam #stopvouchers #houstonfaithvotes
A story worth reading -- Illinois Becomes First State To Roll Back School Voucher Program via @Forbes forbes.com/sites/petergre…
Good morning #txed and #txlege friends. Thought you might be interested in this article about Illinois rolling back their voucher program. Turns out, not all students are given a choice because they are discriminated against….which is by design. forbes.com/sites/petergre…
WOW! Prop A up huge in @RoundRockISD. 75% for in WilCo. 77% for in Travis Co. This seems insurmountable. Perhaps unsurprisingly, strong public schools are popular! #txed #txlege
Note to my fellow journalists, who I have so much respect for: You don't have to report on the special session like it's a "failure." It's a victory on multiple fronts. #txlege
There is not, and will never be, a deal on vouchers. Educators will not mortgage the future of 5.4 million students for any price. Nothing to see here. #NoVouchers🚫 #txlege #txed
Gov. Greg Abbott’s call for churches to observe “School Choice Sunday” and for ministers to use pulpits to promote a voucher-style legislative proposal is “out of bounds,” 21 past and present Baptist General Convention of Texas leaders said. baptiststandard.com/news/texas/bgc…
