## Resource

Governor Greg Abbott’s new Texas Classroom Commission, led by former math teacher Courtney Boswell MacDonald, is set to overhaul public education in Texas—aiming to lift the state from its 25th-place national ranking and position it as a leader in student achievement. Composed of educators, the commission will deliver actionable recommendations to Abbott, the Texas Education Agency, and lawmakers before next year’s legislative session, all within a tight deadline. With teacher pay recently boosted by the legislature, this initiative marks a bold, frontline-driven push to reshape Texas schools and empower educators to lead the change.
