Ever wonder how Texas school funding works? 🏫💡When local property values rise, schools don't actually get more funding—the state just contributes less. Watch our quick breakdown to see how it works! 🖐️ 🔗 https://youtu.be/ugqpYAID7cM?si=VRQbXLI9E9fZa1s0 #TxEd

What does public school advocacy look like to you? Showing up to board meetings, talking to your rep, or staying informed all make a difference. Together, we are building the strong workforce that powers Texas! Get started: https://www.raiseyourhandtexas.org/get-involved/ #TxEd

Texas is expected to add 2.3 million jobs by 2030, and Fort Bend ISD isn't waiting to prepare its students. The district is introducing CTE exploration in middle school & high schools. https://ow.ly/VeXP50ZcpW4 #TxEd #CareerandTechnicalEducation

591 industry certifications. 298 seniors graduating career-ready. It's clear why Granbury ISD was named a CTE District of Distinction by CTAT in 2025. https://www.granburyisd.org/apps/news/article/2130548 #TxEd #CareerandTechnicalEducation

Teachers. School Nurses. Counselors. Principals. Custodians. Paraprofessionals. Every person who works in a Texas public school is a public servant, and today we take a moment to say thank you. Happy Public Service Day! #PublicServiceDay #TxEd

Juneteenth has deep roots right here in Texas. On June 19, 1865, Galveston became the birthplace of a day the whole nation now celebrates. We are proud to honor that legacy and the resilience, joy, and community it represents. #Juneteenth
