Invest in Texas Public Schools

2019 TEPSA Legislative Priorities

• Modernize the school finance system to fund Texas schools at a level that meets the needs of our growing and diverse student population.
• Ensure school and community environments are safe and supportive for all students.
• Implement targeted supports to close educational achievement gaps between groups of students.
• Establish a comprehensive accountability system that moves beyond high-stakes, multiple-choice exams and instead measures progress of the whole child.
• Safeguard the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS)
