With severe state budget cuts causing crowded classrooms, program reductions, and school closures statewide, Save Texas Schools is fighting back. Join us on Saturday, March 24th, for a massive rally at the State Capitol - and sign our petition now at www.savetxschools.org
The Save Texas Schools petition calls on state leaders – both officeholders and candidates – to pledge their support for the following emergency actions in the next legislative session:
* Make outstanding public education a top priority for Texas.
* Restore all school funding cuts made by the 2011 Legislature and provide sufficient resources for our growing student population.
* Revise school finance laws to be fair to all students.
* Fix the $5.4 billion annual deficit to avoid further cuts to education.
* Reevaluate and limit high-stakes standardized testing.
Together, will make public education the most important issue of this next election cycle, holding legislators accountable for supporting a quality education for all Texas students. It’s time to stop underfunding schools and over-testing kids. We’re watching, we remember and we vote!
