Here is a copy of the email I sent to my representative today…I adapted the text from the urging email sent out earlier today via the Technology Education Coordinators’ Special Interest Group (TEC-SIG).

As a K-12 educator serving in public school districts as an instructional technology director, I see evidence of neglect and lack of funding in my urban San Antonio school district.

Please give final approval to CSHB 4294 when the bill is called up for concurrence. It is my fervent hope, along with the other educators I represent, that this bill will allow school districts, like mine, to use their textbook fund allotment to purchase innovative, up-to-date instructional materials…and the tools to get those materials into the classroom.

On behalf of our children, please support CSHB 4294 so as to enable greater financial flexibility and local control to access the learning materials, and tools, we know our kids need.

With deep appreciation,

Miguel Guhlin

Want to follow suit?

Contact your lawmakers office today and tell him or her that you support CSHB 4294 and ask them to do the same? You can contact your local lawmaker via the following website: http://www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us/

Thanks to Jennifer Bergland, TexTAN and TCEA for their advocacy!
