Holding teacher pay raises hostage to give public money to private schools is just wrong.

- The #txlege increased school safety funding by 28 cents per student. I can’t get a key made for 28 cents.
- Glad that public school advocates are sharing this common-sense idea with the TX Sen Finance Cmte today: Fund schools on enrollment, not attendance. When a student stays home sick, the state pays schools less, but the light bill doesn't go down. 1/3
- It’s truly mind boggling that the legislature started with a $33 billion surplus and we’re having a conversation about teachers getting zero from that.
- One thing that I can guarantee, is if the Legislature passes private school subsidies, Texas will never have enough money to pay public school teachers what they are worth.
- Even @teainfo admits that under their new accountability rules, schools can see their ratings drop even if student performance improves. Dallas ISD has a B rating; under these new rules, we would be a C district. Same data, different rules.
- Sitting on a surplus of $14 billion, and the #txlege isn’t even allowed to even consider funding a teacher pay raise.Be informed! The Gov sets agenda for a special session, & here are the only items #TxLege can address. Where is adequate funding for our #txed schools? Actions speak for themselves. It’s an effort to sabotage our neighborhood schools. All on #WorldTeachersDay. God bless #txed!
- My driver again today heading to the Lincoln Madison football game - he is wearing Madison green and I’m in Lincoln purple. Best husband!
- Change isn't going to happen by accident. It has to happen by design. Proud of my team for presenting how @DallasISD is designing change on racial equity, P-Tech, and internal innovation at #TASA2023.
- The number of A-rated schools has doubled, going from 30 in the 2023-2024 school year to 60. The number of B-rated campuses increased from 71 to 103, and even more remarkable, the number of F-rated schools decreased from 24 to two.⭐️STAAR data shows significant growth worth celebrating; district earns B rating.

- Mayday! I am declaring a state of emergency because the budget state lawmakers are negotiating would leave Texas public schools $7b short of what's needed to keep up with inflation. Use this link to tell lawmakers that public schools need help now! p2a.co/mlOGicT
