On October 5, 2023, Governor Abbott released a proclamation calling for a third special session of the 88th Legislature in which school funding was not on the list of the governor’s priorities.
To make change, we need to contact our representatives to try and modify the priorities that have been set. Please see the message from Board President Shannon Braun and Superintendent Dr. Schnautz.
Within the message, there is a link to a sample letter that you can copy, paste and edit as you see fit into a message to your legislative representatives.
