Thank you @Bailesfortx for being sensible and accountable to the 5.4 M Texas public school children. The changes in our assessment and accountability system, among the other expensive items, proposed in CSSB #SB8 should be heard in public with witness testimony. #txed #txlege

Our schools and our students are so much more than ONE TEST on ONE DAY. So this legislative session, let’s reimagine how we capture and assess performance in Texas schools beyond #STAAR.
It is time to #MeasureWhatMatters

TX has $33B in surplus & $27B in the Rainy Day fund, but not enough to keep up with inflation for public ed? Why not bust the spending cap that #txlege created & can kill w/ a 2/3 vote? We can have prop tax relief AND keep up w/inflation for #txed w/$14B. #justfundittx

Now is the time to prioritize assessment and accountability. Call your House member: wrm.capitol.texas.gov/home. Ask them encourage Chairmen Buckley to hear HB 4402 (Bell) and HB 4514 (Allison). #txed #txlege
