Texas teachers to rally against school vouchers, demand increased public school funding at Capitol (cbsaustin.com)

The school calendar limits what teachers can do to reach out to their own lawmakers, but they're still planning on having their voices heard. Zarifis says, “The governor so heartlessly calls a special session while teachers are teaching, will not stop us from showing up. We will be there, teachers will be there. We will be lobbying our elected officials.”
