Texas students are tough, but they've never faced a crisis like this. In communities across the state, the same grim headlines repeat: campus closures, teacher layoffs, deep cuts to core academic programs.
There is help for Texas students - IF our leaders have the courage to use it - and you can make a difference.

Make education a top priority!

Use the $9.3 billion Texas "Rainy Day" Fund to support schools.
