Lots going on in public education advocacy!

• The Texas Legislative session opens today, January 14.  Public education will be a hot topic.
• Thursday, January 16 is the HISD Board of Managers meeting.  You can see the agenda for the meeting here (click on the calendar entry).
• The HISD Board of Managers has also scheduled multiple workshops on the 2025-26 budget:  January 28, February 27, April 16, May 1, and May 22.  All meetings are at 3pm.  Be sure to stay tuned as budget cuts will likely be on the horizon, and the Board should be encouraged to keep those cuts as far away from students and schools as possible.
• Remember, all HISD Board meetings and workshops can be viewed on HISD’s YouTube channel.
  
  Finally, for our teachers:  
• Teach Plus, Raise Your Hand Texas, and the Education Trust have partnered to present a one-day advocacy training workshop here in Houston on January 18.  More info here.
