<<First Name>>

Over the last two years, Texas education has been rocked by school closures and interrupted learning. As a result, 60% of kids are behind and almost none of them are catching up. Parents are frustrated by their lack of ability to control what’s happening to their children, and Southeast Texas parents know this feeling all too well. As in schools throughout the state, campuses in the Houston suburbs have been caught up in the culture wars and mask mandate disputes and are trying to catch up after significant learning loss.

So, what is the Texas Public Policy Foundation doing to help?

TPPF is bringing bringing the Parent Empowerment Tour. Join the Texas Public Policy Foundation for a town hall conversation on these key questions: What are the unique challenges in Southeast Texas? How are families and visionary school leaders rising to meet these challenges? And what should the Texas Legislature do to improve access to great schools?

Below are the details for this event.
