Hi Mr. Interiano, thanks for sharing. Would this be for K-12 schools or for colleges and universities?

Thanks Mr. Phillips! The bonuses would be paid directly to teachers for each passing score on an AP or IB exam that their students earn ($50 per passing score, up to $2,000, and an extra $500 for the first passing score to a teacher in a school rated D or F).

Hi Ms. Zion,
What methods would you propose to keep disruptive students out of the classroom?

Thank you for posting, Ms. Acosta. It is absolutely the foundation of the Phase 1 plan that strong reading and math skills are essential to learn in a child’s early years — please see the Literacy and Numeracy Professional Development section. The plan proposes optional intensive professional development (based off of successful programs) at schools that have low reading and math scores, so that teachers can more effectively teach their students.

Thanks Adriana. To clarify – this is for informational purposes only and is not standardized testing for 4 year olds.

Hi Dianne, thank you for following the campaign!
There have been several previous policy releases and you can read the Securing Texans policy at this link: http://townhall254.gregabbott.com/forum/securing-texans/
Greg Abbott has a $300 million plan to strengthen security at the border.
Thanks for sharing, Mr. Rojas! What would you propose we use to measure student performance (testing, or something else)? What are you thoughts on how to identify and retain good teachers?

Thank you for your service, Mr. Lee! We’ll look into this. Do you think some sort of database for scholarships and financial aid would be helpful?

Mr. Harper –
Thank you for sharing and I’m so sorry to hear about your situation. What in particular would you recommend be changed?

In short, the constitutional challenges against EMTALA failed, as it is only a directive for hospitals that participate in Medicare, whereas the ACA imposes a individual mandate. The ACA has been and continues to be challenged in courts by numerous states, mostly based on federal overreach into state sovereignty.
Best,

Thank you, gentlemen!
Greg Abbott’s Securing Texans Plan recommends a $300 million increase in spending for border security, which includes the hiring of 500 new troopers along the border. How would you recommend that the Texas Department of Public Safety reach out/advertise those openings to veterans?
