When voters learn what private school vouchers actually do, they hate them. #ncpol candidates, take note. carolinaforward.org/blog/collapsin…

It’s simple. If vouchers did what the voucher lobby says they do, we’d already have more transparency. But we don’t, because the facts we do know tell us vouchers defund public schools, waste taxpayer dollars, and tank student achievement @palan57 forbes.com/sites/petergre…
Myth: “Texas public education is being funded at its highest level ever.” Reality: In inflation-adjusted dollars, funding has dropped $590 per student over the past 10 years. #FundOurFuture Read more: bit.ly/43MdOUg

🚨📚The Truth About School Finance in Texas: Myth vs. Reality Stagnant state funding, inflationary double-digit price increases, & new legislative mandates are forcing districts to adopt deficit budgets & cut staff. Yet some are pushing a false narrative about funding...
The typical voucher system is: An over-cost bailout of sub-prime private schools struggling to stay open while cannibalizing general funding for public schools and opening the door to grift and fraud But the Arkansas version is its own kind of awful. arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/…
As I’ve been saying ad nauseam, the elite private schools mostly want no part of vouchers. It’s a) the academically average but cash-strapped and b) entirely sub-prime schools clamoring for them. It’s why the results are so dreadful for kids who switch. rb.gy/ib0gi2
As Texas public schools return from spring break and prepare for the final stretch, let's continue to grow our advocacy together and cultivate brighter futures! 🌷📚☀️ #TxEd #TxLege #Advocacy #Springtime

One of the favorite things about Governance Camp for many trustees and administrators is the student voice part of the program. We get a chance to see these amazing students present and share about some of the things that they are doing in their local public schools. #govcamp
It is always a pleasure to spend time with school trustees and administrators from across Texas. Glad for being able to attend #govcamp again.
