Our school districts need an increase in revenue to fight inflation. Our teachers deserve more respect than to try and trade a raise for vouchers!! But even more important, we need to invest in student/staff safety instead of vouchers!!

HB100 from the House has a nice increase in S/M allotment. CSHB100 in the Senate lowers the increase to help pay for vouchers.

Great article!! We need to keep our rural schools and our rural communities!!

Republicans are pitching school voucher programs to combat 'the radical woke agenda.' But rural Texas conservatives like their schools just the way they are.

A nice story on rural schools.

Classroom battles over racism and LGBTQ inclusion have supercharged the movement for private school choice. Remote public schools like the one in Robert Lee, Texas, could pay the price, opponents warn.

Have you been reading about and helping to celebrate the amazing gains in student learning across this gigantic state of Texas?

Have you taken note of the accountability “grades” and the number of districts achieving an “A” rating?

- And, hundreds more are on the cusp of achieving the same!

-And, it was accomplished while facing multiple unforeseen and unknown challenges during these past 3 years!

- And, it proves that “those who can, TEACH!”

To the Texas public school districts working hard every day to meet the needs of students, staff, and community….we say

THANK YOU FOR YOUR FOCUS AND RELENTLESS DEDICATION!!!

Texas Association of Rural Schools applauds you, believes in you, and is dedicated to serving your district and students!!!

CONGRATULATIONS to our Texas Public Schools!
