THREAD: Today would be a great day to pass the #HEROES Act. Here's why it matters for Texas public schools ... https://twitter.com/TexasAFLCIO/status/1285926676808048641
If the Senate passed the #HEROES Act, Texas schools would get a $6 billion infusion of funds. https://www.texasaft.org/uncategorized/the-costs-of-education-during-a-pandemic-why-we-need-the-heroes-act/
Districts need resources to even consider safe school reopenings. $6 billion could buy:
Laptop & broadband access for students without them
HVAC upgrades to filter out contagions & more school safety measures
Teacher retention & training https://www.texasaft.org/uncategorized/the-costs-of-education-during-a-pandemic-why-we-need-the-heroes-act/

The state comptroller this week announced an expected $4.6 billion deficit in the upcoming budget. #HEROES Act dollars could help stabilize and limit impact on education funding. https://www.texastribune.org/2020/07/20/texas-deficit-comptroller/
So tell our Texas senators we need this money now. Pass the #HEROESAct. https://twitter.com/TexasAFLCIO/status/1285936848540442624?s=19
