We need a governor who prioritizes our students and the educators on the front lines with them every day. We must elect Gina Hinojosa for Governor—our students and educators depend on it.
What a fun day at the Houston Art Car Parade!

Since the state took over #HoustonISD, we have lost 22,000 employees with a collective 127,000+ years of experience in the district. Losing this invaluable experience is a disservice to our students. We cannot stay silent. @texasaft.org @aft.org @houstoncvpe.bsky.social
When experienced teachers leave in record numbers, it’s a warning sign. As @hft2415.bsky.social Pres Jackie Anderson said: “It’s definitely going to have a horrible effect on students.” Students deserve trained, supported educators, not a system stretched thin. abc13.com/post/texas-t...
Today we celebrate the incredible paraprofessionals who support our classrooms, lift up our students, and make our schools stronger every single day. Your patience, dedication, and care do not go unnoticed. Thank you for everything you do!
“District leadership has indicated that discussions about additional closures could begin as early as this summer or fall.
If more closures are coming, the communities affected deserve more than notice. They deserve a voice.”
