Key Legislation Progress

Our Legislative Priorities

End Municipal Discrimination

HB 1707 (Klick)
HB 4977 (Klick)
SB 472 (Hughes)

Public charter schools are targeted with discriminatory fees, zoning, and permitting schemes that divert state funding from the classroom.

Proposal:

Enforce the SAME municipal rules for ALL public schools.
Enforce the SAME municipal rules for ALL public schools.

HB 1707, HB 4977, & SB 472

Equalize Charter Facilities Funding

HB 1572 (Dutton)
SB 1722 (Paxton)

Qualifying public charter schools share a fixed $60M charter facility  appropriation rather than receiving a per-student facilities allotment.

Proposal:

Provide a per-student facilities allotment, as is available to all other public schools.

HB 1572 & SB 1722

Raise the Bar for SBOE to Veto TEA’s School Recommendations

HB 2103 (Goldman)
HB 2890 (Cunningham)
SB 1782 (Middleton)

TEA maintains the most rigorous vetting process nationally, yet the SBOE vetoes the vast majority (80% in 2022) of recommended schools.

Proposal:

Raise the SBOE veto threshold to overrule TEA recommendations from a simple majority to a super-majority, as is already required to override SBEC rules (TEC §21.042).
