What We Are Building

We are building a movement of local leaders and advocates for public schools in communities across Texas.

Our statewide advocacy team works in communities throughout the state to raise the voices of parents, teachers, community leaders, business owners, and students who care about the future of public education.

We are focused on two core issues that impact every student, educator, and campus in Texas: school funding and the A-F accountability system.

We believe Texas must invest in a robust, well-funded public education system—one that provides districts with the resources and stability they need to deliver a high-quality education for all students.

Traditional A–F school ratings are based on a narrow view of how students and schools are performing. We support an assessment and accountability system that measures the true quality of our schools.

Become An Advocate

Texas’ future—our communities, citizenry, and economy—depends on how well we prepare the students in our more than 1,200 public school districts around the state. 

Raise Your Hand Texas works in local communities and at the Texas Legislature to broaden and strengthen support for public schools.
