Kim Davis's Company Details
TPCSA's mission is to support and advocate for a policy and regulatory climate that ensures every student in Texas has access to ever-improving public school options.Representing nearly 85 percent of Texas public charter school students, TPCSA has the trusted and expert resources for educators and leaders, parents and families, charter hopefuls, legislators, members of the media and more. Charter schools are free, open-enrollment public schools that have the flexibility to adapt to the educational needs of individual students. They are held to stricter academic and financial standards than traditional public schools, because Texas' charters can be revoked after three strikes of unmet ratings. More than 300,000 students attend public charter schools in Texas, but there are more than 50,000 students on waitlists to attend a charter school. There is about a $1,000 per-student funding gap for Texas charter schools, because they do not receive facilities funding, unlike traditional public schools. With equitable funding, quality charters could replicate and grow the number of seats available to serve more families in need. To change this inequity, we need all supporters to raise their voice and get involved.Follow us on Twitter @TCSANews and on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/TCSANews and www.Facebook.com/TXCharterRevolution.
