Great Hearts
Advocacy Corner
|
- Great Hearts Texas Parent Advocacy Manager Bridie Chaudoir, also a GH Monte Vista parent, traveled to Austin on Tuesday to participate in “Charter Day,” the day that the Texas House Public Education Committee heard a full day of pro- and anti-charter bills. Starlee Coleman, CEO of the Texas Public Charter School Association, provided valuable testimony how the myriad of proposed bills could help – or hurt – public charter schools across the state.
- Bridie also testified to the House Ways and Means Committee in support of HB3610, authored by San Antonio Rep. Barbara Gervin-Hawkins, which would exempt public charter schools from paying local property taxes on leased facilities. It is estimated that this would save charters $12 million annually!
