Something is better than nothing. I’m grateful for all of the legislators who advocated for the 500 million in funding for non-teacher raises.
We commend the House and Senate for reaching a compromise on House Bill 2 (HB 2). This legislation provides much-needed support to raise teacher and staff pay, expand special education services, increase school safety resources, and help school districts manage the rising costs of insurance, utilities, and other essential operations. Now, we urge lawmakers to build upon their momentum by passing House Bill 4 (HB 4) as approved by the House.

He didn’t get what he wanted with his voucher legislation so now he’s punishing the children and educators of his own state. What a little tyrant. chron.com/news/article/greg-…

Interviews with two former Katy ISD trustees. Most people don’t know these two trustees ran against each other. Now they’re aligned together, in the battle for Katy ISD against pro-voucher PACs, and in support of Dawn Champagne & Rebecca Fox. 🥂🗳️🦊 houstonpress.com/news/will-f… – at Katy, TX

Katy ISD over here busting myths some of our legislators love to spread. The state benefits from our high property taxes. Not our school district.
Did you know that Texas public schools don't benefit from rising property values? Katy ISD's per-student funding hasn't changed since 2019-2020 even though tax bills are up 10.1%. When you pay more, the state pays less. #TXLEGE #PubEd #FundTexasSchools

💯% certain my cat would do this for me
The persistent meowing of a black cat named Piran led search crews to find his 83-year-old owner after she fell down a 70-foot ravine in England. n.pr/3yYOXfL

1st drafts are like first dates. Sometimes you’re into them, sometimes not. Sometimes you will go onto date/draft 2, 3, & 4 until you make it to the final draft and sometimes after many dates/drafts, you will lose interest for no good reasons and call the whole thing off.
Me to my dad: I’m am a grown up...an INDEPENDENT woman. Stop giving me unsolicited advice. Also Me: You’re still going to continue giving me $100 dollars on my birthday, right?
