The teachers want lawmakers to invest part of the state’s nearly $33 billion budget surplus into public schools.
The teachers who rallied near the Capitol on Monday also said they don’t want money to be taken out of the public education system to be used for school vouchers. A so-called “school choice program” is a priority for Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.
“We have the opportunity to create some educational opportunities for students that need it the most, and I think those things can always reconcile where we can support our public schools and allow educational opportunities for students at the same time,” he said. “Anything else is just a destructive narrative.”“It’s just, again, an effort to do the best we can as we lift up our public schools with state funding like never before,” Sen. Creighton said. “We support our teachers.
“It just makes sense that if a teacher has young children, and pre-K is already offered in the school, that it’d be a part of their benefit package,” he said.
