Today, the Texas Legislature will convene for a special session. Part of the agenda includes an important opportunity to reshape Texas education. Lawmakers will consider legislation to eliminate the STAAR exam and replace it with more effective tools for assessing student progress and ensuring district accountability.
Given the fast-paced nature of a special session, we encourage you to sign up for our text alerts so you can track movement on key bills impacting public schools, students, and teachers and learn of opportunities to make your voice heard at the Capitol.
