Dear Editor,
“75% of school districts across Texas are in a funding crisis. The state has cut its share of funding for schools by 20% over the past six years, withholding funds until they get an expensive and unwanted private school voucher bill passed.
This is criminal negligence, but the punishment is falling on our local schools, teachers and school children. Schools are already closing. Teachers are being laid off. Supports and programs are being cut and it will only get worse.
The state needs to give this 20% back and do it now. That’s $1,300 per student per year, which would get us back to 2019 funding levels. They have the money, plenty of it. It’s your money.
We have the power as Texans to SAVE TEXAS SCHOOLS but we need to act now. The window is short. Rally, call, write. Without our pressure, the Governor and his followers will destroy our public schools.
So come with me to the rally. We can fund schools and stop the private school voucher giveaway.
Two hours. That’s all it takes.”
Contact me for more information!
The time to show up is now, not after the legislators vote!
