With the Texas Legislature convening in January 2025, there are several pressing issues that require attention. Given the current landscape, I believe the legislature's top priority should be addressing the teacher pay crisis in Texas. As of now, Texas teachers earn over $9,000 less than the national average, and 23.4% less than other college graduates in the state. This significant pay gap has led to teacher shortages, high turnover rates, and declining educational quality across the state. To address this issue, the legislature could consider increasing teacher compensation and benefits packages, investing in teacher recruitment strategies, and providing meaningful professional development opportunities. By prioritizing teacher pay, the legislature can ensure that Texas educators are supported, and students receive the quality education they deserve. Other pressing issues, such as school choice, border security, and property tax elimination, are also likely to be on the legislature's agenda. However, addressing the teacher pay crisis is critical to maintaining the quality of Texas' public education system and ensuring the state's future workforce remains competitive.
