Good Reason Houston’s professional policy specialists work alongside communities, district leadership, school boards, and legislators to make systemic improvements to public education in Houston through policy.
Good Reason Houston engages stakeholders at all levels to help drive policy related to the following areas proven to improve student outcomes.
Ensure public school systems have the financial resources they need to meet student learning needs and drive post-secondary success, including strategic investments in data-backed, student-focused reforms originally introduced by HB 3 (86R) that are designed to improve student outcomes.
Set graduates up for postsecondary success by incentivizing robust college, career, and military readiness pathways in K-12 programming that align with postsecondary opportunities in high-wage, high-demand industries.
Cultivate and retain a workforce of education professionals by incentivizing rigorous preparation pathways, recognizing and investing in highly effective educators, and supporting ongoing professional development.
Ensure students, families, and communities have access to a robust and transparent academic accountability system – one that measures student academic success, public school quality, and illuminates where to target needed resources.
Increase resources for high-quality early education programs and incentivize the use of research-backed classroom tools designed to promote effective, engaging interactions and environments foundational to early learning.
