🚨Education Reform Must Be a Top Priority for the RPT! 🚨
Fellow Texans and Republican delegates,
The Legislative Priorities Committee has placed Education Reform in Position #11. This is our chance to send a clear message: Education must rank in the Top 8 legislative priorities for the Republican Party of Texas (RPT). If it doesn’t make the cut, education reform will not be a formal priority heading into the next legislative session.
Why Education Matters to Texas: Texas is one of the fastest-growing states in the nation, with a booming economy driven by energy, technology, manufacturing, and agriculture. But none of that success is sustainable without a well-educated workforce. Education is the foundation for economic prosperity, strong families, safe communities, and opportunity for every Texan.
Budget Reality: Education is one of the largest shares of the Texas state budget. In recent bienniums, Article III (Education) spending has reached tens of billions, with K-12 and higher education together forming a massive portion of state expenditures. When combined with health and human services, these areas consume nearly 70% of the total state budget.
Future Impact: An uneducated or poorly educated generation leads to higher welfare dependency, increased crime, lower workforce participation, and strained public services. Every other issue we care about — border security, taxes, healthcare, economic growth, and liberty — becomes harder (or impossible) to solve if we fail to properly educate our children today. A strong education system builds self-reliant citizens who contribute to Texas rather than burden it.
We need bold reforms: school choice, parental rights, curriculum transparency, workforce-aligned education, and accountability that puts students and parents first — not bureaucrats or unions.
Action Needed Now:
✅️Share this post with your RPT delegates.
✅️Urge them to vote Education into the Top 8 priorities.
✅️Contact your Senate District delegates and make your voice heard at the convention.
Texas’s future depends on it. Let’s prioritize our kids and secure the Lone Star State for generations to come.
Share far and wide, Texans❗️
