12 PRIORITY AREA Advocacy

Creating systemic impact for students requires work beyond Dallas County. The Commit Partnership has a team of in-house staff members dedicated to advocating for student-focused public policy on local school boards and throughout the state, including inside the Texas Capitol.

School Finance In 2018, Commit CEO Todd Williams served on the Texas Commission on Public School Finance and helped craft a comprehensive set of recommendations focusing on improving key academic outcomes through strategic investment and increased equity in our public school finance system. The Advocacy team is dedicated to championing these recommendations during the 2019 Legislative Session.

Early Education The Advocacy team, on behalf of our Early Matters partners, seeks to increase awareness of the importance of early childhood education and expand access to high-quality early learning environments for all Texas students. The goal is to ensure that 80% of students are school-ready on the first day of kindergarten and 60% of third graders are meeting grade-level reading expectations.

Effective Educators The Advocacy team, in partnership with the Best in Class coalition, focuses on increasing access to well-prepared, effective, and diverse educators so that a greater proportion of our region’s students are on track for college and career success. The efforts center on four strategic parts of an educator’s pathway: attracting, preparing, developing, and retaining effective educators.
