The Lobby Level

The number of Texas teachers quitting is rising. In their own words, here’s why. As a new school year begins, Texas is reeling from a record number of teacher resignations. While leaders and districts look for solutions to combat recruitment and retention challenges, some worry…

Public education is under attack in Texas. We have to have individuals willing to speak for our Schools, Students, and Teachers.

No teacher raises. A failed school voucher push. Armed guards. Here’s what changed for public education this legislative session.
