Texas is recognized nationally as a pioneer in public school reform. While we have made significant progress, there is still work to be done. We should not stop now. We need to continue to invest and, at the same time, expect more from our investment. We must work together to continue to celebrate, defend and strengthen our public schools. We must raise our hands, lend our voices and show our support.

Raise Your Hand Texas supports the accountability of public schools and strong standards for the 21st century.
We support legislation that will create a new accountability system - one that is accurate and fair and that can be more easily understood by all stakeholders: educators, parents, and taxpayers.
The Texas Star System: An Improvement Model For Public School Accountability was presented to the Select Committee on Public School Accountability by RYHT in Dallas on June 16, 2008.
