Celebrating #TeacherAppreciationWeek is more than just praise—it's a pledge to support those shaping the future of Texas. 
In Texas, 89% of teachers working a second job do so during the school year, according to the 2023 Charles Butt Foundation Texas Teacher Poll. Let's work on making education an investment that pays off for our teachers. It's time their compensation reflected their worth. 📚 #InvestInTeachers #InvestInEducation #TexasTeachers #teacherappreciation
