Governor Abbott Holds Inaugural Texas Classroom Commission Meeting At Governor’s Mansion - Office of the Texas Governor (.gov)

Governor Greg Abbott just kicked off a new statewide commission aiming to make Texas the number one state for educating students.
This new push affects students in districts like Lubbock ISD and Frenship. It could influence everything from classroom technology to teacher development. The changes will also affect future teachers graduating from Texas Tech's College of Education, who will staff our schools from Tech Terrace to Raintree.
For Lubbock families, this could translate into new curriculum standards or improved teacher resources at local districts. Any state-level changes to education funding or teacher development will directly hit our schools on 19th Street and throughout the city. Parents might see shifts in how schools approach learning. Texas currently ranks 34th nationwide in overall K-12 education, making the Governor's "number one" goal quite a climb.
