The winner of most seats in the Texas Legislature is determined in the March primary, not the November general election. Please take time to vote in the primaries starting Feb. 20!
Monday is the last day to register to vote in the March 5 primaries. If you need to register, go to votetexas.gov!
Any registered voter can vote in either the Republican or Democratic primary. Supporters of public schools need to vote in primaries this spring, starting 2/20!
The deadline to register to vote in the March primaries is one week from today. Go to votetexas.gov to register!
If you care about public education in Texas, voting in November isn’t enough. You need to vote in the March 5 Democratic or Republican primary. Early voting starts 2/20!
Most Texans don't vote in the primaries that determine who will hold almost every seat in the Legislature. Let's change that!
If you care about education in Texas, you have an assignment: vote in the primary elections on March 5.

Poinsettias are ready for pickup at Jacksboro High School. There are plenty of extras for those who did not pre-order. Only $20 each and all proceeds benefit the Senior Class of 2024.
This was the scene that brightened the day of many Tiger fans this morning. Brian Burks has always has a wave and welcoming smile as he greets the community at the JHS cross walk. Today, he was ready for a Tiger Playoff!
We are so lucky to have Brian at JISD.
Jacksboro ISD will remain open during the current power outage that is affecting the City of Jacksboro. Parents can pick up your students if you choose to do so. If power is not restored by noon, we will reevaluate the situation and determine if an early dismissal is necessary.
According to the Brookings Institute, a decade of studies on private school subsidies shows they actually hurt student achievement. Public tax dollars should be used to advance a public good, like improving student achievement.
Without elected boards or state oversight, vouchers are nothing more than private school subsidies that give away your tax dollars with no financial or academic accountability.
It is National Principals Month and we have some of the best at JISD. Thank you Rebecca Sell, JES Assistant Principal for all you do for JES.
Vouchers are about private school's choice, not student school choice. Public schools are proud to serve all the students in our boundaries.
Continuing National Principals Month, we want to recognize Assistant Principal Will Johnson. Thank you for all you do at JMS!
"In the Educational Opportunity & Enrichment Select House Committee, the executive director of the Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops testified that there is often times no bump in Catholic school enrollment that occurs after the implementation of a school choice program.
Vouchers don't provide more opportunities to families, it uses taxpayer dollars to subsidize a decision that they were already going to make.
Public schools educate more than 90% of students in Texas. Those students deserve full funding for their schools before any discussion of diverting taxpayer money for private school subsidies."
