Texas Senate just passed Senate Bill 2 — another push to use public money for private school tuition. Sound familiar? That’s because similar bills have failed before, thanks to a mix of Democrats and rural Republicans in the House. Will it be different this time?

72% of private schools in Texas are located in 10 counties, according to the Texas Private School Accreditation Commission (TEPSAC). 158 out of 254 Texas counties have no private school option.

Let’s stick together and use our voices to save our public!

HB2 (school funding) and HB3/SB2 (private school vouchers) are hitting the House floor this Wednesday—and we need YOU at the Capitol!
We’re joining with other groups to flood the building with Save Texas Schools supporters. We’ll be going office to office and packing the House gallery to say:
YES to $1,300 more per student.
NO to private school vouchers.
Wear your STS shirt (or any pro-public ed tee), bring your posters, and start gathering at the Capitol at 8:30am. Debate kicks off at 10am and could go all day.
Need a break? We’ve got pizza, snacks & drinks at First United Methodist Church (1201 Lavaca St., just one block away). Let’s show up big for Texas students!
