Governor, we’ll keep putting our trust in God, but we’re praying you call a special session to raise the public education basic allotment. The state has the money and the 5.4 million students need an adequately funded education system. Please help.

Think about this next time @GovAbbott offers any praise for Texas public school teachers...
Consider your most stressful day/week as a public school educator, then reflect on the following:
(1) Texas public school employees are tired, burned out, underappreciated, and many work in underresourced schools.
(2) Texas teachers busted their rears and sacrificed their own families by helping our students and communities endure a global pandemic.
THEN...
(3) Texas teachers were used as fodder as the Governor told voters they were "woke" and that they teach kids to "hate America."
AND...
(4) Texas ranks in the bottom 10 states in per-student funding.
(5) Texas' $32.7 billion surplus is the size of the budget of South Carolina.
FINALLY...
(6) Policymakers could not find it within themselves to provide teachers with any raise, nor could they find it within themselves to increase school funding...due to their insistence on tying funding to vouchers.
These people MUST be held accountable. The 2023/24 school year should not start until we: (a) increase teacher pay; and (b) increase school funding.
PERIOD.

After working as a group on their #vnps the group returns to their math notebook to make notes to their future forgetful self and reflect on learning. Students say they prefer creating their own notes in their own words! Way to take charge of your own learning! @Fossil_Hill

The taxes you pay in the name of an ISD aren’t necessarily going to the ISD. Millions are carved out and used for other things.

Construction zone in math class as we used the “Fixer Upper” strategy from the Instructional Playlist that allowed students to analyze test questions. Love the conversations and how they focused on the process of the problems. @TimberviewMS @KISDMathSquad @AshleyR_KISD @sm77lang
