Lamar CISD Legislative Priorities

On March 27, Lamar CISD Cabinet Members and Board of Trustees traveled to Austin to meet with lawmakers and present our district's legislative priorities to elected officials participating in the 89th Texas Legislature. The team focused on four key advocacy points including: 

  • Revise Bond Language for Hyper-Growth Districts 
  • Designate Schools as Critical Infrastructure 
  • Increase the Basic Allotment 
  • Enrollment-Driven Funding 

As a public school system, our mission is to ensure access to elite education that allows our students to achieve their full potential beyond the classroom.  

As a parent and guardian, staff member, and a key member of our school community, your support is important in ensuring our students receive the best education they deserve. Each day, our trustees and district leaders continue to advocate for our students and their future, but they can’t do it alone. We need your support in staying informed, calling your representative and being a voice for the future of education.
