From a PIR: TEA's CORRECTED figures. Original figures *under*stated several urban districts' performance, & *over*stated some HISD figures. #txed #txlege @GHPartnership @meganmmenchaca @small_asher @edisonjaden @RYHTexas & here's what's coming for HISD: docs.google.com/presentation…

Informative and compelling thread about HISD bond propositions.
If you need more evidence of Mike Miles at @HoustonISD utter ineptitude & contempt for voters, look at how they’re managing the pro-bond campaign. A thread. 1/

12 yrs as a U.S. Sen from TX - a seat once held by the great Lloyd Bentsen - and the best @tedcruz can do is close out his campaign trying to scare people w/ a transgender hate ad that doesn't apply to any Texan. No accomplishments. No aspirational message. No hope. Just hate.

THIS IS NOT OK!!
“The explanation given was: HISD employees are now required to work more hours. Since we’re working more hours, they forgot to reduce our hourly pay. They needed to reduce our hourly pay so that our yearly salary would stay the same.” No Trust, No Bond. #NoTrustNoBond

The New Apostolic Reformation, a far-right movement that wants to erase the separation between church and state, increasingly intersects with the Trump campaign. @GeoffRBennett talks to @TaylorMatthewD about the relationship between MAGA ideology and white Christian nationalism.

Hard to overstate the significance of this. J.D. Vance is linking up with Lance Wallanu, the man who popularized the Seven Mountain Mandate that says conservative Christians are called to rule society, and who has been warning that Kamala Harris is possessed by demons.
Very important news: J.D. Vance is planning a town hall on Saturday, hosted by the Lance Wallnau Show at the Courage Tour. This is Vance's endorsement of one of the worst, most conspiratorial, Christian supremacist spectacles in the country. 1/ donaldjtrump.com/news/90bcf4…

How does Miles manage teacher retention? He doesn't. He also clearly doesn't value expertise and experience. Why should we give Miles more to manage when he isn't handling his workforce well? #NoTrustNoBond #MilesToGo #WrongBondWrongTime

So, what have we learned from all this research and data? NES doesn't deliver sustainable results, is probably harming its students, and imparts lasting human and financial capital costs to the school/district. This has already started in HISD and it must be stopped. (13/15)

🚨IMPORTANT THREAD🚨 We did an in-depth investigation into Texas’ longest-running NES school. The findings are crucial for understanding what #HISD is facing right now. Come with us to see the results. (1/15)
