Teachers & students deserve LESS testing, not more. HB 8 would expand STAAR to 51 tests. Contact your House member today before the session ends, which could be as soon as tonight: votervoice.net/ATPE/Campaign…

The House is currently under a quorum break, which means they cannot conduct business.
Please let me know below what you think of these bills.

Good morning!
In case you haven’t heard, there has been movement on testing/accountability in the legislature over the past few days. 🧵
The House and Senate have filed identical bills.
House: capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/89…
Senate: capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/89…

Lawmakers say they are "eliminating STAAR." But HB 8/SB 8 might not deliver what educators + parents expect. So what’s really in the bills?

After weeks of “hurry up and wait,” Chairman Creighton has released a few details on his committee substitute for HB 2, and the result is a mixed bag for public educators and school districts. Read more on ATPE's TeachtheVote.org: teachthevote.atpe.org/Our-Bl…
