Texas 88^th Legislature: Charter School Advocacy

• Two important pro-charter bills were approved by their respective committees this week. The House Land and Resource Management Committee approved a bill that would require cities to follow the same zoning and permitting rules for all public schools, including charters. This bill would end extra fees, delays, and arbitrary measures that charters have been subjected to when opening new campuses. 

To receive updates on this important legislation from the Texas Public Charter School Association, please click this link.  

• Did you know? When public charter schools grow, it creates more opportunities for students and families. Among all the public charter schools that have opened a new campus in the last six years, 97% received a “passing” grade from the state. What’s more, these public charter schools earned top honors for academic outcomes at much higher rates than the statewide average. Learn more here.

• Stay up to date on critical charter school legislation and action alerts from the Texas Public Charter School Association (TPCSA). TPCSA is the statewide organization representing Texas charter schools to state leaders, lawmakers, and state agencies. 

All parents can stay informed by subscribing to TPCSA’s emails and alerts. To receive TPCSA emails and alerts, please click this link.
