Let us remember during these tense and anxious times that the local public school is the only place where many poor children get adequate and nutritious meals. If it shuts down for any period of time, those children will be hungry.

Friends and neighbors in North Harris County there is a potential threat to our Constable Contracts that provide law enforcement services to much of our area and numerous communities. Please read the letter from Commssion Cagle posted on my Facebook page, facebook.com/samharless126/

We recommend you go to @TXParentPAC and @Texans4E for info on #txlege candidates. You can trust their information completely on who supports— really and truly supports— #txed!

Charles Koch can spend as much he wants to privatize public ed. He will fail. Americans believe in their public schools! Let him spend billions more on his failed project. We will match his dollars with our commitment to God’s Common Good. bit.ly/2jR93Y5 @DianeRavitch

“Members that supported vouchers in 2017, even though they did not in 2019, are going to have strong opposition in the next electoral cycle. People do not have a short memory about this. Vouchers are a corruption of the public good. People remember it.” bit.ly/2ICw0Xo

No system of public education that takes all kids will be perfect. All that diversity in one classroom—race, class, religion. God’s beautiful & messy—and holy!— human family! But the preacher told us long ago: “Something doesn’t have to be perfect in order to be good.” #txed

Action Alert! A proposal tying school funding to 3rd-graders' test scores is being considered again by the #TxLege. Tell lawmakers to oppose this measure, which puts funding pressure on our 3rd-graders & withholds $$$ from students who need it most: actnow.io/PA6NLje #TxEd

Senate conferees, as unpleasant as it may be, you must confront @DanPatrick now on #HB3 and concur with the House on this historic and essential #txed policy. It’s our children, for God’s sake! #txlege @SenLarryTaylor @DonnaCampbellTX @KirkPWatson @SenJaneNelson @SenRoyceWest

Thank you Senator @kseliger for being a champion for TX students! We appreciate your leadership and celebrate this important legislation that gives students a chance to achieve graduation goals even if they struggle with test anxiety/high-stakes tests. 🎓#txed #txlege
Thank you to SB 213 co-authors and all of the parents, teachers and schools who have continued to support Individual Graduation Committees, which help deserving and qualified students receive a High School diploma! @GregAbbott_TX @DanHuberty #txlege #txed

Holding $9 billion dollars of #HB3 school funding hostage over failed & discredited high stakes testing for 8-year-old 3rd graders is an extraordinary malpractice of #txlege governance. Not one #txed educator group affirms it. Conference, reject this nonsense! @RepDennisBonnen

Crunched some numbers this weekend. If the Texas Tax Raisin’ Republicans actually increase the sales tax and use that money to reduce property taxes, only 20% of Texas families (the most affluent) will see an overall tax relief. The rest will see an overall tax increase. #txlege

Many kids faced trauma we can't even imagine this weekend. For them, instead of complaining about it being Monday, they look forward to returning to some stability and love. #HackingSchoolDiscipline buff.ly/2W9mujs

Thank you to @DanHuberty, @DiegoBernalTX for correcting amendment language which could have been interpreted as voucher in the best school finance bill we’ve seen.
