You can't use the parks budget to redo your backyard. You can't use the highway budget to repave your driveway. You can't use the police budget to hire a personal security guard. And rich people can't use our public school budget to pay for private school. Say no to vouchers.

In 2023, the Governor & Texas Legislature didn't use the $33 billion surplus to put meaningful new dollars into Texas classrooms. After several years of high inflation, many school districts are now looking at budget cuts that will impact students & teachers. #txlege #txed

We did it. We just defeated Greg Abbott's voucher scam. The People’s House has spoken. I’m so proud of the bipartisan coalition in the Texas House that defended our schools and our kids.

TX underfunds special education by $2B/yr and then promotes outsourcing education to private schools (that can discriminate against children) to allow for profit off of parent frustration AND to save the state $$ on sped costs. #txed #txlege @txcase fox7austin.com/video/1311719

TCASE and every major disability advocacy group in Texas opposes private school vouchers because they are not in the best interest of students with disabilities. Read the press release @TxDisabilities @DisRightsTx #txed #txlege bit.ly/3QEfxWR

Texas retired educators have not received a COLA since 2004. Proposition 9 offers retired educators seriously overdue adjustments. VOTE for our retired educators by voting YES on Prop 9. The money has already been appropriated. Early voting starts Monday! #txed #txlege @trta

Must-know for TX taxpayers - ESA/voucher -> less students in public schools -> recapture/Robin Hood increases -> TX puts more of your property tax $$ into general revenue -> general revenue sent to private school. Your taxes will fund private schools. #txed #txlege
Private-school vouchers will leave school districts sending even MORE of their money to the state through Robin Hood. #txlege #txed loom.ly/1kTKDAw
