Fund Texas’ Future Day

 Texas PTA has deemed Wednesday, March 2 “Fund Texas’ Future Day.” To participate, email your state representative about the budget crisis (find your state representative at this link).
Some important points to include in your email:

• Texas PTA’s legislative position is that funding public education is a priority.
• Regardless of what your campaign promises might have been, there are nearly five million reasons for you to look at all sources of funding to protect public education.
• Cutting funding to public education is not acceptable.
• The Rainy Day Fund and all revenue sources should be considered to fund Texas’s future.
• Texas children are our future.
• Texas businesses cannot thrive without an educated workforce.  The economic viability of our state is directly related to the education of our children.

They are also asking that schools include “Fund Texas’ Future” on their marquees starting March 2.
