My top 4 Public Education priorities are:

Public School Funding System Reform - Maintain funding for all components of House Bill 3, the comprehensive public school legislation adopted by the 86th Texas Legislature.

Special Education Funding - Monitor TEA’s Special Education Strategic Plan — corrective action taken after an investigation by the Department of Education

Digital Connectivity/Broadband for All - Pursue legislation and funding to ensure all Texas public school students have access to reliable digital connectivity and devices.

School Safety - Monitor school safety legislation, both implementation of laws enacted in 2019 and legislation filed in the 87th legislative session

Cyberbullying - Monitor implementation of David’s Law and any other legislation related to cyberbullying. Support policies to strengthen anti-cyberbullying laws

Student Mental Health - Monitor implementation of mental health legislation, including programs and services designed to help keep students mentally strong and prepared to cope, as well as systems to identify students in need of intervention. Monitor mental health legislation that is filed in the 87th legislative session.

Juvenile Justice Reform - Support legislation to increase the age of adult criminal responsibility from 17 to 18, and monitor funding for students in Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Programs

A - F Accountability System - Monitor legislation impacting the state’s A-F system. Advocate for an accountability system that more broadly reviews school performance and includes a family engagement component

State Assessment - Advocate for a reduced emphasis on state-mandated testing that penalizes the student rather than guide instruction and identify learning problems

Keep Public Dollars in Public Schools - Oppose legislation that authorizes state funds be used to pay for private school tuition and related costs.

Other (examples: Vaping Regulations, LBGTQ Advocacy, Child and Youth Trafficking, Healthy Lifestyles, Global Warming, etc,)
