Roundtable on Education & the Texas Lege

The Wimberley Roundtable and the League of Women Voters of Hays County invite everyone interested in the quality of education for all kids to join our collaborative discussion “Roundtable on Education & the Texas Lege” on Tuesday, February 25 at 6:30 p.m. in the Blanco Room at the Wimberley Community Center.

Mario Piña, a Regional Advocacy Director for Raise Your Hand Texas will speak to the details of the education funding bills being considered by the Texas Legislature, including proposed legislation on educational savings accounts. Dr. Greg Bonewald, Wimberley ISD School Superintendent, Mariah Ingram, Katherine Anne Porter School Superintendent, and Dr. Erin Flynn, Hedge School Cooperative Lead Instructor, will each bring their unique perspectives to the discussion of the funding issues their schools face and how to insure an excellent education for all our community’s children.

Education touches all of us whether we are students, parents, teachers and educators, or members of the community without children. Big changes are being proposed by the Texas Legislature. The issues are complex, and we are a diverse community. Knowledge is power, so this is a chance to learn about and discuss what’s proposed and their impact on our schools and children.
