Closing opportunity gaps builds prosperity for all Texans. Investment in public education (the teachers, students, learning centers, schools, and higher education institutions that are the center of communities) drives equity. Closing the opportunity gap ensures that every Texas student is prepared for college and can choose a career path. In order to ensure every student comes along in the success of our state, policy makers must do more than simply increase funding for public education.
Lift teachers up with fair wages and the classroom support they need.
Support students of all backgrounds from early childhood through 12th grade.
Ensure that every student enrolled in school, not daily attendance, determines the value of our state’s public education system.
Infuse schools with the resources they need, in the building and throughout communities, to cultivate and prepare every student in every Texas zip code for success.
A growing number of students in Texas are people of color who come from low-income backgrounds. These demographic shifts require more targeted state investment in higher education to address barriers and ensure equity. Policy failures should not limit students’ success while their peers who have had lifelong access to increased resources thrive.
Our bipartisan work is respected throughout the halls of the Capitol because it’s rooted in fact, focused on equity, and powered by community.
We know there are common sense solutions and stories in the data that can drive change across Texas. Now more than ever, your investment in Every Texan strengthens Texas for everyone.
