TEA Public Education Vision Survey

Parents,

Due to the Every Student Succeeds Act, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) is required to complete a state plan for the vision of public education in the state of Texas.  The Commissioner of Education, Mike Morath, has launched an online survey to get input from parents and the general public.  Your input will be used in developing our state vision.  Please consider taking this 10 minute survey.  They are accepting responses through November 18, 2016. 

Thanks for being a part of the process and supporting public education.

Joe Kucera, Ed.D.

Superintendent of Schools
