Texas PTA: Share Your Story

Public schools are facing significant challenges. Despite a close to $40 billion state surplus, the lack of adequate state funding has forced Texas public school districts to make very difficult choices that include closing campuses, cutting staff, and eliminating programs.

Texas PTA wants to hear how this has impacted your family and your children. Have programs been cut? Has your campus had to eliminate counselors or nurses? Have class sizes increased? In a few sentences, please share your story with us.

Our plan is to use the stories as we advocate for public school funding in the upcoming legislative session.
