The Misalignment of School Funding vs. Teacher Pay with Mandy Drogin Part 1

NOTE: This release marks the beginning of State House's bi-weekly
release schedule for the holidays! Join us every other week
beginning in December through the month of January to stay up to
date on the issues that matter most to Texans as we enter the
election year!



Did you know that 90% of Texans are within a 30-minute drive of a
career or technical college, a community college, or a
certification program? Yet, there's a catch. 


Mandy Drogin, the campaign director for Next Generation Texas at
the Texas Public Policy Foundation, joins the conversation. She
discusses the foundation's advocacy for school choice and
education freedom, emphasizing the importance of parental rights.


The discussion touches on issues such as the influence of unions,
profiteering within the education system, and the misalignment
between increased funding and teacher pay. The conversation also
covers the mismanagement of funds, extravagant spending on
facilities, and the failure of the education system to adequately
prepare students for life after graduation. Mandy emphasizes the
importance of addressing these issues and advocating for school
choice to provide better opportunities for students. 


Frank and Mandy land on the current and projected shortages in
crucial professions, such as plumbers, HVAC workers, welders, and
electricians. The implications are not just economic; they extend
to the very fabric of the workforce that has long been a
cornerstone of Texas's identity.


TEXAS PUBLIC POLICY FOUNDATION


For three decades the Texas Public Policy Foundation has been a
driving force behind Texas’ success: protecting individual
liberty and securing the prosperity that characterizes the Lone
Star State. More recently our national leadership in criminal
justice reform and energy independence have brought acclaim.


Will you join with us to show Texas and America that freedom, not
more government, brings economic prosperity for all?
