    The best indicator of child's success in life depends on whether they can read at grade level by 3rd grade, ESPECIALLY for low-income students. #HB3 funds full-day Pre-K for low income students, investing in the children who need it most. #TheTimeIsNow

    Oh no! The tribute to children at the Capitol has 80% attendance. Under current system that would mean a grade of F. #NotCollegeReady

    Earlier today, the long-awaited school finance plan was filed by Chairman Huberty. By the time of the press conference, HB 3 had over 90 co-sponsors. I am proud to support this bill, and I am confident that HB 3 is a step in the right direction to reform public school finance.

    Thank you @RepDennisBonnen for appointing me to serve on two important House Committees: Appropriations & Public Education. I appreciate the vote of confidence in the work I have done on these two committees in the past. I am ready to get to work for #HD1 & the state of Texas.

    House Bill 515 I authored last session would have eliminated unnecessary tests that cost the state nearly $7 million. Looking forward to more discussion on improving student assessments in the House Public Education Committee. #txed #txlege
