What is Friends of
Texas Public Schools?
The purpose is to bring more good news to light. Our public schools do a remarkable job of educating Texas children. Sadly, "fixing" public schools is a favorite platform, and more often than not it's the need to improve, not the reasons to celebrate, that politicians, policy makers, and papers choose to talk about. The negative nature of news leaves out millions of success stories. We aim to share a few of them, and turn the slant in a positive direction.
