Public education funding is a critical issue affecting communities worldwide. The level of funding allocated to schools directly impacts the quality of education provided to students. Recent trends have shown budget cuts leading to overcrowded classrooms, outdated resources, and limited extracurricular opportunities in public schools. Petitions under this topic often advocate for increased funding to support smaller class sizes, updated technology, and teacher salaries.
Notable petitions include one urging lawmakers to prioritize education funding to ensure all students have equal access to a quality education. Another petition highlights the detrimental effects of budget cuts on student learning outcomes and calls for adequate resources to support academic success.

I am in and out of our schools on a weekly basis counseling with these awesome kids. I simply don’t understand why anyone would want to put legislation in place that would potentially harm our kids or weaken their educational opportunities. They are our leaders of tomorrow and the greatest natural resource we have. We must all support one another, especially our kids. I believe in CCPS. I’ve seen the results!
My name is Jeff McGuire and I have taught in the CCPS school system for 31 yrs. My children have gone through Catoosa County public schools and I am very supportive of what we are doing in our schools. We are striving every year to better our schools and what we are teaching to better prepare our students for the changing world that they will be faced with. Any more cuts to the funding of our schools will only hurt the students. It will require that some teachers lose their jobs due to cuts in the budget and this will make for larger class sizes and less individual attention that a student will be able to have due to the increased class size.
There are ways to make changes and then there is this. 27 yrs in public education and hv NEVER HAD ANY LOCAL LEGISLATORS ASK FOR INPUT IN HOW TO MAKE EDUCATION BETTER. Stop being tone deaf and connect with people in the trenches. This petition will not really make a change BUT VOTES WILL!!!!!!!!! REMEMBER this on the next election day!!!!
I have seen how public schools are losing great teachers because of the lack of funding for pay and overburdening of responsibilities. Public schools need to be helped in every way since this is where the majority of students attend school.
I have worked in public education for 20 years and have always said education is the one thing no one can take away from you. Sadly, Governor Abbott is trying to weaken the access to public education that ALL Texas students deserve.
Public money should stay in public schools. Vouchers overwhelmingly benefit the wealthy, and the rest of us are getting tired of everything benefitting the wealthy these days. An issue like this should be on the ballot and allow the people to decide, but Abbott is afraid to do that. And withholding funds until he gets his way is a slap in the face of every teacher and parent of a student.
As a Christian Texas retired public school educator who invested 35 years into the lives of children, I am so very disappointed in the lack of support our governor and Republican lawmakers are showing for the majority of children in Texas. Our public tax dollars need to go to fully fund and expand public education, not private education. Follow our Texas Constitution and please do the right thing for our kids and public school educators in Texas!
I graduated from EGHS in 2017, and am incredibly grateful for the high quality of education I received from the teachers and staff at the school. Education, one of the last universal public goods in America, is under attack nationwide. Communities need to make the decision to continue fully funding education, investing in our future. Teachers and students both deserve more!
