Advocacy Update
Advocacy Update

The new Texas Legislative session begins next month.  If you did not know, the Texas Legislature only meets every other year (in odd-numbered years).  Public education will be a big topic in the 2025 legislative session.  Did you know that Texas ranks in the bottom 10 states (#42) in per-student funding?  

Every parent and community member can advocate for public education at the state level.  A great resource is Raise Your Hand Texas.  Sign up for their newsletter to stay informed regarding ways that you can advocate.
