Amarillo AFT & Friends, WE DID IT!!! Educator ally Rep. Eddie Rodriguez's amendment to SB 1 has passed & is now officially part of the state budget bill. This is a HUGE step toward making the state release nearly $18 billion in federal relief $$ directly to public school districts, as intended.

We now need to make sure that provision STAYS in the final budget next month, but for now, we celebrate!!! Many districts in the state used $$ from other budgeting areas to support students & teachers in a new virtual learning platform & need that $$ returned to them w/o Texas making them jump through unnecessary hoops!!
