Today was my son’s #FirstDayOfSchool Instead of the public school down the street I drove him 40 minutes to a private school for children with disabilities. With a ratio of 30:2 (30 four year olds!) with NO supports public education is out of the question. #CutsHurtKids
The past week has been hard. On Thursday I spoke with the public school and told them that no, my son would not be attending the school with the rest of his community. Today I drove in the opposite direction of the children that would have been in my sons class
I do not feel he could be safely supported with only 2 adults for the entire class. He has ASD, PICA, is non-verbal, is not toilet trained and a flight risk. There are two other high needs kids in his class, 27 other NT kids and no EA. #CutsHurtKids

Last week, we released the Texas House public education report cards. On the whole, the Texas House earned an 86 in (not joking) the 86th Session of the Texas Legislature. Lots of legislators earning A's, supporting public ed. How will the Texas Senate stack up? Let's see #txlege
Carol Alvarado - Senate District 6 earned an A for Public Education in the 86th Session! #txed #EarnedNotGiven
Paul Bettencourt - Senate District 7 earned an F for Public Education in the 86th Session #txed #EarnedNotGiven

My administration has worked diligently to find a resolution to the situation affecting several Native American families using ESA funds to send their children to a private school across the New Mexico border. 1/4
Legislation just introduced in the Senate is a bipartisan effort which does not punish the families and provides adequate time for them to determine the best next step for their children’s education. 2/4
This legislation also respects the will of Arizona voters, who soundly rejected an expansion of the ESA program last year. This is an example of what we can do when we work together to find solutions to our problems. 3/4

Here is how Ford & Scheer's plans fit together. Ford is making significant cuts to public education. Increasing class size, eliminating specialty courses, gutting school capital programmes & destroying the cities ability to supplement funding by wiping out development charges/a
Scheer follows with tax credit for private schools. If public education is decimated & you decide to send your kids to private school Scheer will cut your income tax. Effectively redirecting Funds from public system to private one & reduces Fed Revenue & kick starts other cuts/2
Ford & Scheers plan work the same way on many fronts, Public Health cuts reduce harm reduction programmes, Federal support is no longer drawn into cities, capital for housing removed by planning changes & suddenly cities don't have funds to access National Housing Strategy /3

NEW REPORT: The teacher weekly wage penalty hit 21.4 percent in 2018, a record high epi.org/165729 by @Sly21 and @LarryMishel #education #teachers
"In 2018, teacher strikes in West Virginia, Oklahoma, Arizona, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Colorado raised the profile of deteriorating teacher pay as a critical public policy issue."
"Teachers, students, parents, and community supporters protested cutbacks in public education spending and a squeeze on teacher pay that have persisted well into the economic recovery from the Great Recession."

Here's what the #CNP has planned for education in the United States. With the Heritage Foundation's support, of course.
