Friends,

Texas public schools are due $18 billion in federal stimulus. The Texas House will consider whether schools will receive this funding during the budget debate on the floor this week. Please contact your legislators one last time during budget week and tell them money intended for education should stay in education! Schools desperately need these dollars to help students, staff, and families recover from the pandemic. This money is essential to preventing the public health crisis from becoming a generational education crisis.  Here are a few samples of how much money hangs in the balance or use this link to learn more and to look up other school districts.    Austin ISD $74,326,485 and $167,234,591 Dripping Springs ISD$1,060,346 and $2,385,778 Georgetown ISD $3,945,125 and $8,876,532  Hays CISD  $7,907,386 and $17,791,619 Liberty Hill ISD $548,289 and $1,233,650  Marble Falls ISD $3,131,432 and $7,045,722 Round Rock ISD $12,485,459 and $28,092,282 San Marcos CISD $7,288,208 and $16,398,467 Waco ISD $22,110,591 and $49,748,831 After you make contact, please share with your network and social media utilizing the #FundTxEdRecovery.
