Working with Lawmakers

Vote in ALL Elections

Your vote is your voice. If 100% of educators vote, we can change the outcome of elections. The people you elect decide:

• How much to fund public schools
• How much time, money, and attention is spent on standardized testing
• Whether to support or undermine public education
• Whether to privatize education in Texas

Let’s move Texas out of last place in voter turnout! Create a culture of voting in your school.

Keep Lawmakers Informed on Issues Impacting Your School and Community

You are the expert on your students and your school. Lawmakers need your knowledge on ideas and laws that help or harm your students, teachers and schools. Keep your legislator informed about the importance of elementary education in Texas, and ensure TEPSA has a voice in at the State Capitol.
