This didn’t happen on its own. A big thank you to the Texas House and to grassroots advocates across the state for supporting Texas schoolchildren! #FundStudentsNotTestScores #txed #txlege

#SouthTexas, make sure to tell your legislator that you don't want #STAAR scores tied to school funding. Outcomes-based funding wasn't a good idea in HB 4545 and it's not a good idea in HB 1525. #FundStudentsNotTestScores #TxEd #TxLege

The Texas House, and @willmetcalfTX in a great moment at the back mic, made it clear it doesn't support test-based funding. The Texas Senate, meanwhile, is determined to add pressure to the STAAR. It's time to put this widely unpopular idea to rest and move on. #TxLege #TxEd

HB 1525 was intended to be a clean-up bill for HB 3 from last session. BUT now it includes bonus funding for students' #STAAR results.
Take 20 seconds to speak up & let's get this bill back to its original intent!

🛑🚨Folks! You know the drill. Only 3ish days left in the #TxLege. We need you to send the message AGAIN that outcomes-based funding puts much more pressure on a #STAAR test.

Outcomes based funding is still in consideration. We need to #FundStudentsNotTestScores — and not a test-based funding policy that has no basis in research and will only up the stakes of the STAAR. #TxEd #TxLege

Why is the Senate so obsessed with testing-based funding? It puts more pressure on the #STAAR test & creates lots of unintended consequences, like even more focus on test prep.

Stop outcomes based funding! It is inequitable in that not all districts get to participate. It raises stakes even higher on #STAAR. Ultimately, children do not benefit. #FundStudentsNotTestScores #txed #txlege

Texans have made it resoundingly clear year after year: NO OUTCOMES-BASED FUNDING. There’s already enough focus and pressure on STAAR. #HB1525 #txlege #txed

An outcomes-based (STAAR-based) funding bonus has been added to HB 1525 by the Senate. This is the same test-based funding proposal that was rejected by the Texas House. #TxEd #TxLege

Not to our surprise, but to our great disappointment...#STAAR-based funding is back because of the actions of the TX Senate. We need your voices one last time this session to bury this stubborn zombie of an idea! p2a.co/Jrz0vVe #FundStudentsNotTestScores #txed #txlege

In 26 years of education, I have never known a teacher
who withheld their best teaching because they were waiting for an incentive.
So, teachers, use that teacher voice and share your thoughts ⬇️

Why are we at Raise Your Hand so passionately opposed to outcomes-based funding? Because it puts much more pressure on a standardized test & creates lots of unintended consequences, including even more focus on test prep. #TxEd #TxLege #FundStudentsNotTestScores
