Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

I will be working across the aisle to help the Republicans meet their goal of adequate compensation for educators. A comprehensive plan must include increased salaries as well as increased benefits. It is important to include an understanding of the student population explosion that is taking place across Texas as well.

With the current growth rate, in Laredo alone, there is a need to add one new elementary school each year!

This compensation needs to take into consideration, the cost of living increase, the increase in demand and clear understanding of educational needs now and in the future.

Here's a link to the Texas Education Agency website, for more information and resources.
