🚨Help Texas PTA Prepare for the HB 3 Hearing🚨

The Texas House Committee on Public Education will soon hear HB3, and Texas PTA needs YOUR stories to strengthen their testimony and call to action!

 

How will Education Savings Accounts (ESAs), a.k.a. school vouchers, affect YOUR school? 

 

Let's support our Texas public schools and, in a few sentences, share about:

➡️ Special Education – What happens to services and support?

➡️ Class Sizes – Will they grow?

➡️ Programs – What resources might be cut?

➡️ Funding – How will ESAs impact your school's budget?

➡️ Enrollment – What shifts could happen?

➡️ Teacher Retention – How will this affect hiring and keeping great educators?

 

Your firsthand experiences are our most powerful tool in shaping this conversation!
