Education for Texas 97: Putting Students First
Public education is the foundation of strong communities, and Texas must start treating it that way. Discover Diane Symons's vision for a robust educational system that truly serves our children and communities.
Protecting public education
Diane Symons firmly opposes school voucher programs that divert public tax dollars away from neighborhood public schools and into private institutions. Many private schools have already raised tuition while receiving state-supported voucher funding, making access even less affordable for working families while draining resources from public classrooms.
Empowering local districts
Diane Symons opposes state overreach into local school districts. When the state replaces elected school board members with appointed managers, it takes decision-making away from parents, teachers, and communities. Our schools deserve leadership with real classroom and education experience—not political appointees.
Curriculum for critical thinkers
Our children deserve curriculum built by qualified educators, historians, and child development experts—not political agendas. Curriculum decisions must be transparent, age-appropriate, and focused on preparing students for a successful future. Diane Symons advocates for educational content that truly benefits our students.
