New Video Series Shines a Light on the Importance of State Investment in Fastest Growing Schools, Support for Teacher Workforce, Public Education

Texas’ fastest-growing school districts are raising their collective voice to highlight the challenges and opportunities facing Texas public schools, teachers, and students. Fast Growth School Coalition is launching a new video series to educate and engage public school parents, local communities, and state leaders to support smart investments in Texas public education and schools.

“Fast Growth School Coalition’s member districts experience tremendous population growth as businesses relocate or expand into these communities, creating both challenges and opportunities for these destination districts,” said Dr. Greg Smith, Executive Director of Fast Growth School Coalition and a former Clear Creek ISD superintendent. 

“Our school districts want to make clear the importance of investing in and supporting public education broadly and its fastest growing school districts specifically,” added Smith. 

AUSTIN, TEXAS--The following statement regarding the tragedy at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, should be attributed to Dr. Greg Smith, Executive Director, Fast Growth School Coalition:

“Teachers, school administrators, parents, and students in Uvalde are grieving after the senseless deaths at Robb Elementary, and our hearts ache for them. 

During this horrific tragedy, our coalition member school districts stand with Uvalde ISD and their larger community. No parent, student, or educator should endure the tragic loss of life and the physical and emotional wounds so senselessly brought upon these families.”
