    "Vouchers in Texas are a terrible idea. We should be investing in our public schools & focused on ensuring every school is well resourced," Diverting funds away from public education will not lead to student success in Texas. bit.ly/3VjSEXJ #TxEd #TxLege #vOUCHersHurt

    In the midst of crisis, schools are the hearts & hands of our communities. Now, we must support schools as they have supported us. Because a strong TX recovery requires strong public schools. Join us: raiseyourhandtexas.org/strongrecovery/ #StrongRecovery #TxEd #TxLege

    Texans oppose any form of vouchers, also called education savings accounts, that use taxpayer dollars to subsidize private schools and vendors. Tell your legislator that public dollars should remain in public schools. p2a.co/9qC39Ns #TxEd #vOUCHersHurt #TxLege

    Now is the time for the legislature to address the needs of the 5.5 million children in Texas public schools. Tell your lawmakers to use our historic budget surplus to provide urgently needed funding for public schools now! #txed #txlege p2a.co/Y3qUTKR

    In Texas, we know better. We’ve seen the research, and it’s clear that voucher programs don’t improve academic outcomes for students. Contact your legislators and tell them you support our Texas students and public schools: p2a.co/9qC39Ns #TxEd #vOUCHersHurt #TxLege

    "When teachers have to work 2 jobs, we have an underfunded system. When teachers have to use their own money to buy basic school supplies for their students, we have an underfunded system. The problem isn’t mismanagement, it’s an underfunded system." #TxEd #TxLege @scottmuri

    For those who teach, this one is for you. For everyone else, please share this for all the educators out there proving that, whatever the challenges, whatever the obstacles, #TeachersCan. Thank you teachers. #TxEd

    👏👏We applaud the House for voting to raise the Basic Allotment by $1,000 last night, while the Senate focused on 💰💰attaching vouchers to funding bills still in their chamber. Fund public schools — and pay teachers, not private schools! #TxLege #TxEd #vOUCHersHurt

    School vouchers, or Education Savings Accounts, leave Texans behind. The future of Texas is in our public schools, & lawmakers can support 5.4M students right now. Click to tell legislators to PAY TEACHERS, NOT PRIVATE SCHOOLS: p2a.co/BEoSP2B #TxEd #TxLege #vOUCHersHurt
