My children have all benefited from our public schools in Leander ISD. My son has Down syndrome and is in the process of testing to be placed in the Early Learning program at our local elementary. This program is VITAL for his future. The services and support he will receive are dependent on funding from the state government. He deserves to have an education just like his sisters. and our state and nation will ultimately benefit from the early investment in these children. Please stand with us to save our Texas schools, to protect and promote the best for our children.
As a single mother of a school-aged child, I firmly believe that our education system needs significant improvement. Defunding public schools would have devastating consequences for our children and their future. We need better salaries for teachers to attract and retain quality educators. I stand strongly against vouchers; they undermine the integrity of our public school system.
The children are the reason I am here. They need all the love, support, and education I can give them. Please don't give up the future by sacrificing our children.
Fully fund NOW public education in Texas where the vast majority are educated. Take the shackles off our children and our schools by funding in a way you would want your children's education to be funded. Give our children the key to open a positive future for Texas.
Schools are cutting everywhere they can to make up for the money that they have not received. These are our children. Don't say that you expect us to have the best schools in the nation when we are at the bottom in funding.
As a retired public school educator I think it is PAST time that public education is properly funded! Handing out vouchers for private education that is rightfully public school monies is not acceptable and not financially sound. Charter schools and private education have drained public education financially and of better qualified staff!
Free Public Education should be just that. A well educated populace is fundamental to our democracy. Our teachers need to be well paid and our public schools fully funded. Vouchers haven't worked for other states and will not improve education in Texas.
This will have horrific consequences to many children, families, and educators. Educators make up a large portion of Texas workforce. They can lose their pensions which will devastate lives and our economy. Fine arts programs will cease to exist in a significant way.
Please don't sacrifice our children. I have 3 grandkids in public school and have seen a decline in the quality of public education. Our teachers need pay raises and the schools should be fully funded.
Increase funding to our public schools I am a product of public schools, and today I still teach in the public school system. The lack of money needed means the decrease in services and support for children in our public schools.
