The Save Texas Schools Rally was postponed due to the bad weather on the weekend in February it was supposed to happen. It is now set for Saturday, April 5.
The free buses will be sent from large cities across Texas on April 5 to Austin for participants to Stand up for Public Schools then will return attendees back to their pick-up spots.
As before, the buses are free for riders if 30 people in an area will commit/register to ride the bus to Austin. I’m still trying to get 30 people from Fairfield and our surrounding area to go. We love our local schools. They are the cornerstones of our communities.
Our schools have not received new funding since 2019 and the buying power of those funds have diminished with inflation. I’m looking for everyone that cares about their rural public school: school employees, retired school employees, school board members, parent’s organizations, parents, grandparents, students, community business owners, and any one that cares about teachers and students that are caught in the middle of this funding mess.
If you have questions, I will send you more information.

If you are not in my area you can still click the link and register, the organizers will know where you are and contact you of where buses are coming from that you can meet up with.
The time is NOW! Public Schools need you! Countless Texas teachers and employees have given their lives for Texas school students to be educated and grow up to be educated, successful, community members.
