Legislative Priorities
Since our founding, Pastors for Texas Children has been guided by a clear vision: care for our neighborhood public schools, and advocacy for fair and equitable school funding. Because of this vision, we’ve built a mass movement of faith leaders across Texas dedicated to protecting and respecting public education as a moral good.
Legislators are always ready to hear from faith leaders, and it's more important than ever that people of faith be a moral voice for fair and equitable school funding. Set up a call or a meeting today!
Not sure what to tell your representative? These are PTC's legislative priorities:
-
A Pro-Student Budget: Promote funding increases for education across the board.
-
A Head Start for Texas Kids: Create fully-funded, high-quality pre-kindergarten programs.
-
Public Money for Public Schools: Fully fund our schools, and say no to any voucher schemes.
-
More Time in the Classroom: Promote limits on state standardized testing.
-
Democracy and Transparency: Reign in out of control charters. Schools should answer to Texans, through democratically-elected school boards.
Do you share these priorities? Do public schools matter to you?
