Proposed platform plank changes for:

EDUCATING OUR CHILDREN

LOCAL CONTROL AND TRANSPARENCY OF CURRICULUM AND FUNDING

Texas Education Agency (TEA)

Current State Platform plank

Committee revised plank

We believe that the scope of the powers of the Texas Education Agency be limited strictly to advisory and/or reporting services, that the control of all facets of public education be placed firmly into the hands of locally elected boards of education, that district superintendents and their employees be made solely accountable to their locally elected boards.
