GH ADVOCACY CORNER
Prospects are dimming at the state Capitol for our elected officials to pass a bill protecting public charter schools from discrimination at the city and municipal level. This priority bill was killed on the point of order in the Texas House Thursday morning after failing on the House floor by 3 votes Wednesday night. Thank you to all the parents who participated in TPCSA’s call to action this week. They made a significant impact on our lawmakers.
