Teachers protest on the Texas State Capitol steps over the way legislators handled education-related bills and funding this past legislative session.
AUSTIN, Texas — School may be out for the summer, but that doesn’t mean Tammy Conrad is done working for the year.
“To me, it doesn’t make sense. Why would we give our public money, money that we get from taxes, why would we give that money to private institutions? We need that money in public education. We are very under-funded,” she said. Conrad says lawmakers need to hear directly from teachers about what needs to change in public education, such as giving teachers raises, raising the student allotment and saying no to school vouchers.
