Save the international baccalaureate program at Vandegrift High School and other Leander ISD Highschools due to underfunding in public schools across Texas

Leander ISD's International Baccalaureate (IB) program at Vandegrift High School and other district high schools is at risk due to severe underfunding of Texas public schools. This critical situation not only eliminates valuable classes and college preparation opportunities but also threatens over 50 staff positions.

IB Diploma Programme graduates have a 38% higher likelihood of graduating from university with a degree than other students in higher education institutions.

73% of Texas school districts are underfunded, with 17% severely underfunded, and many districts are adopting deficit budgets and cutting essential programs.

Our education is our future. Not a budget line.
