About Us
The Coalition for Public Schools stands strong in our efforts to ensure that ALL Texas children receive the opportunity
for a quality, public education. Founded in 1995, the Coalition for Public Schools comprises religious, child advocacy, and education organizations representing more
than 3 million Texans statewide.
Vouchers
The Coalition for Public Schools stands firmly opposed to vouchers and the diversion of much-needed tax dollars
away from Texas public schools. Texas is 47th in the nation in public school funding. Instead of taking more money
away from Texas children through vouchers and voucher schemes, we believe the state should fund education both
adequately and equitably.
Advocacy
At the Coalition for Public Schools, we believe that there is strength in numbers and that the more of us involved in
making our voices heard in support of our free, appropriate, inclusive public education systems the better. We offer a number of ways to help you support your neighborhood
public schools.
