It was my privilege to deliver a $50k check from @PNCBank to support @dallasschools’s tornado relief efforts at @BurnetAllStars! These funds will address the needs of the school, kids & families!

Kids who can’t read didn’t show up for summer school. Don’t give up on them, Dallas ISD dallasnews.com/opinion/edito…
More of these are needed quickly. Good steps in the right direction for children. @dallasnews dallasnews.com/opinion/edito…
Agreed! Thanks @TurnerForTX and @SenRoyceWest for your leadership and partnership on this bill. Making a big difference for families, schools, and Texas.
I really appreciate @TurnerForTX working on this bill for @dallasschools and other districts providing 3 and 4 year old Pre-K. He got it passed in a bipartisan manner with support from @SenRoyceWest and @MorganMeyerTX. We need more of this kind of leadership!

This is something that I have worked on for years and sponsored the policy change. It is a great opportunity to equalize the PreK experience for all children in DallasISD.
Trustees approved a policy last night that will increase access to Dallas ISD's high-quality free pre-K.
The policy will help address structural racial inequities and bring the big benefits of pre-K to more families. ➡️ bit.ly/2xivLLR

What difference would full-day pre-K make to Texas kids? It is making a huge difference for Dallas children! And your child can be part of it, starting next week. PreK enrollment begins April 1.
