88th Texas Legislative Session

The 88th Texas Legislative Session convened on January 10 and will continue through May 29, 2023. As always, there are key education issues at stake. In particular, we expect there will be a focus on school vouchers, accountability, teacher recruitment and retention, and revising critical school funding formula mechanisms such as increasing the basic allotment to account for inflation and switching to enrollment-based funding.

Decisions made at the state level have a significant effect on student outcomes locally. We encourage you to follow along as the legislative session continues and reach out to your representatives in support of bills and policies that benefit public education and best serve ALL children.
