A Texas education advocate hopes to raise awareness about a number of educational issues in the state through a campaign inspired by time-honored values.

Angleton,United States - October 17, 2022 /PressCable/ —
Education leader and entrepreneur Julie Pickren has launched a statewide campaign that aims to put a spotlight on issues affecting the quality of education in Texas. The campaign is grounded on the Texas Constitution, which will be the “driving force” behind the various recommendations that she will submit to the state legislature.

Mrs. Pickren advocates for several interventions that could help address issues of accessibility and equity. These include “opportunity audits”, which ensure equal access to education regardless of language, disability, financial situation, or skin color.
“A great public education benefits the community in multiple ways. It boosts the economy, reduces crime, and builds future leaders,” she stated.
Further, she pushes for the protection of the parent’s right to be actively involved in the child’s education, emphasizing their role as “primary” decision-makers.
“Families are the foundation of the communities, and when the schools work with parents, it provides long-lasting benefits to everyone,” Ms. Pickren added.
