Principles. All Texans are entitled to a quality education that provides them with the skills needed to achieve their greatest potential. School curricula must be rigorous and rewarding, meeting the diverse needs of our students, economy and society. Schools should have relatively equal access to a level of funds that enables the provision of a desired level of measurable academic achievement through an efficiently-managed system. School districts should be accountable to taxpayers and their communities for the money they spend and the results they achieve. Educators and administrators should work collaboratively within and across school districts to ensure that all may learn and benefit from best practices and shared services.
