Very disappointed in this procurement, esp. decision to remove 3 children’s hospital plans which have always been top performers. I will be pursuing aggressive changes to the procurement process next session. #FileandCompete @TCCRI #txlege texastribune.org/2024/04/18/tex…
#MCED is a game changer for early #cancer detection. Thank you, @RepArrington, for leading the charge in support of this new tool. Let’s pass H.R. 2407/S. 2085. wapo.st/3TZCOmt

ESAs represent the fundamental idea behind school choice, that the money should follow the student. Future efforts to create ESAs in Texas should include homeschoolers and homeschooling fully in the benefits they provide. txccri.org/single-post/sc…
10 ways universal school choice works: 1) empowers parents to educate kids 2) gives teachers options to work 3) improves student outcomes 4) reduces poverty 5) boosts economic growth 6) adds competition with govt schools 7) helps people reach full potential Why be against this?
One of the great myths in Texas is that public education is underfunded. To the contrary, through the legislature and local governments, taxpayers have amply funded public education no matter how you frame it. The real story is one of misallocated resources. Read on #txlege 👇👇
Good overview in 🧵 by @TCCRI. Government schools in Texas are well funded, spend too much on administration, and continue to have weak student outcomes. More spending on government schools isn’t the answer, school choice is!

@TCCRI We were forced to homeschool our daughter who has disabilities this year due to the public school failing to provide her FAPE. 38% of homeschoolers are kids with special needs who weren’t making progress in public schools. Therapies are the biggest expense.
10 ways universal school choice works: 1) empowers parents to educate kids 2) gives teachers options to work 3) improves student outcomes 4) reduces poverty 5) boosts economic growth 6) adds competition with govt schools 7) helps people reach full potential Why be against this?
Good overview in 🧵 by @TCCRI. Government schools in Texas are well funded, spend too much on administration, and continue to have weak student outcomes. More spending on government schools isn’t the answer, school choice is!
The emphasis that school districts have placed on both hiring administrators and increasing their pay over hiring teachers and increasing their pay can be seen in the following two charts, which illustrate this misallocation of financial resources quite well.

Shocking… From 2008 to 2023, hospital reimbursement for surgical procedures went up 35% but surgeons payments didn’t even go up 1%. And, when surgeons earned 8% of the overall bill for a surgical procedure, now they only earn about 5% of the overall bill #MedTwitter #txlege
It cannot be repeated often enough: Markets make stuff CHEAPER and governments make it more EXPENSIVE.
🚨📈📉 NEW GRAPH: Inflation has risen by 80% since 2000. Highly regulated products like 💡 electricity, 🏘️ housing, and 👪 childcare have had rapid price increases. But... competitive and innovative markets like 📷cameras,👗 clothing, 🐻 toys have had price decreases.
Thank you. We tend to forget this.
It cannot be repeated often enough: Markets make stuff CHEAPER and governments make it more EXPENSIVE.
Teachers - this is the problem. It’s not School choice, it’s your bosses.
Lawmakers did their part. Where did all the money go? Over a ten-year period, teacher growth outpaced student enrollment growth, but growth in administration outpaced both by a wide margin. School districts prioritized administrative growth over putting dollars in the classroom.
Must read thread. The sources are clearly listed in the graphics, they are from the State’s own data. The problem is administrators. In the meantime, kids can’t read and scores are dropping. The money should follow the kid. It’s fixed this problem.

Over 10 years, statewide public education expenditures in Texas have increased from a low of approximately $52 billion in 2012 to $85 billion in 2022.
