"I'm not defined by what I did when I was 13. I'm defined by who I'm becoming."
All children deserve more than a one-size-fits-all justice system. Kara's story is proof of what's possible when we lead with community support instead of punishment.

For #HispanicHeritageMonth, watch a clip from @KENS5 about the 1968 walkout at Edgewood High School, where Mexican-American students fought for proper school funding. What started as a small group of students grew into a bigger movement, changing the way Texas funds schools.

Today I signed Rep. Dave Paul’s bill extending a pilot program that increases college and career pathways for high school students.
These programs allow students to earn high-school and college or technical education credit simultaneously. Thank you Rep. Paul.

Over the past few days, there have been acts of violence with youth in our community.

On this #NationalHigherEducationDay it's also important to talk about keeping the promises we make to kids who take dual credit classes in high school, and making sure that promise is accessible to the most marginalized students who are often overlooked in the conversation.
Check out this co-released @EdTrust research brief for how we can ensure all students - especially those who’ve been historically excluded from dual credit - can enjoy the full benefits of these programs: edtrust.org/resource/increas…
