Coalition members like Texans Care for Children are making a final urge to lawmakers to fill the funding gap that would bring mental health supports to students across Texas through a School Mental Health Allotment. #TXLege drive.google.com/file/d/1s4mKGI…

Made it! #aap2023 #PutKids1st

AMENDMENT ADOPTED!

I’m grateful to my colleagues for supporting my amendment to increase funding for Early Childhood Intervention by $6 million.

Thank you Texans Care for Children 💞
