We hope students, educators, and families had a good start to 2026! A new semester brings new possibilities for advocacy, like School Funding Day last year, when 200 teachers from across Texas made it to the Capitol to advocate for more public school funding. 
As students return to class, we remain committed to ensuring every student has access to a high-quality public education, this spring and beyond.
