Why should I go?
Several bills are moving forward in the legislative process that if passed would help narrow the funding gap for students attending a public charter school and those at traditional school districts
Benefits of these bills:
- General per student funding could increase
- For the first time, charter schools could receive facility funding
- Charter schools could receive access to low finance bond money
How can you make a difference?
We encourage you to take ACTION:
- Share your story. Write letters to your lawmakers encouraging them to pass these bills. (See here for a sample letter.) Drop off your letter at any Meridian office or email [email protected], and we'll make sure they get in the right hands.
- Join us for a rally at the Capitol on April 26 to support Texas public charters schools.
