An investment in today’s Texas teachers is an investment in Texas’ future workforce.
Texas can lead the way in making the teaching profession an attractive and competitive career choice. However, becoming a teacher isn’t top-of-mind for tomorrow’s leaders. Only 3% of Texans who took the SAT in 2023 cited an interest in teaching, and most parents in Texas do not support the idea of their children becoming teachers. The Texas legislature should support strong incentives that elevate the status of teaching and draw diverse talent into our public schools.

For the past three years, over three-fourths of Texas teachers have considered leaving the profession, marking the highest levels of teacher dissatisfaction in decades. This is no longer a temporary response to pandemic challenges and is instead a new reality for our students in Texas classrooms.
When asked, 70% of school leaders agree that increased salaries would improve teacher retention. For Texas to keep a competitive workforce, we must invest in and enhance teachers’ total compensation packages.
