Thank you, Representative @AngieChenButton, for leading the charge to end the outdated STAAR testing model and deliver a better accountability system for Texas students. Your leadership on House Bill 8 helped move Texas toward shorter assessments, faster feedback for parents and teachers, and more time focused on real classroom instruction. This is the kind of thoughtful education reform that puts students first and gives families the transparency they deserve. #txlege
