C16 was blessed to have Josh Sanderson @EquityCenter host us today. We received a crash course in finance and heard about their work for TX education. We heard from Will Holleman @RYHTexas, an alumnus of the Ed.D program Dr. Johnson @CTEWorks and Laura Colangelo @TXPrivateSchool

Thank you
@KenPaxtonTX

@TeamBettencourt

MORE from @KenPaxtonTX “While local health authorities may possess some authority to close schools in limited circumstances, they may not issue blanket orders closing all schools on a purely preventative basis. That decision rightfully remains with school system leaders.” @CBSDFW

It’s conservatively $2 billion if all private schools close in Texas. $400 million for the estimated 20% enrollment drop.

Will the financial hardship caused by the pandemic force private school students to return to the public system? @RobertEnlow ran the numbers on how states might be affected if students switch sectors en masse. edchoice.org/engage/the-k-1 @edchoice

Floor Amendment #79 was added to #HB3 which will tie #SB1256 the "Do Not Hire Registry" into the passage of HB3. We must stop "passing the trash" from public schools to private schools and instead "take out the trash" permanently, to protect our students! #txlege #txed
