Save Texas Schools March and Rally Texas State Capitol, Austin Saturday, Feb. 23 11 a.m.—March on Congress Avenue 12 p.m.—Rally at the State Capitol
Public education in Texas is at a crossroads, threatened by underfunding and over-testing. Texas children deserve better! Join thousands of fellow Texans marching on Congress Avenue and standing up at the State Capitol to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Speakers include Perrin-Whitt Superintendent John Kuhn, education analyst Diane Ravitch and former Texas Education Association Commissioner of Education Robert Scott, as well as other education and business leaders, parents, teachers and students. Let our legislators know that Texas children cannot be left standing outside a courtroom waiting for their future. We need fair funding and significant testing reform now! The rally is kid and family-friendly. Please encourage your students and their families to take part. For more information, visit www.savetxschools.org.

Do I have to be a teacher of record to get the HB 2 teacher raise?
My district is telling me I have to be a teacher of record / have a grade book to get the HB 2 raise, but that doesn’t match what I have been hearing about the bill—HELP!
