KEEP UP THE PRESSURE: Tell Congress to pass the bill that repeals the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset of the Social Security Act. These two provisions prevent public school employees from receiving survivor social security benefits and decrease the amount that a retiree who has contributed to Social Security can receive.

Congratulations to the faculty, staff and students of Dunbar and Poly High schools. Poly, after being on TEA's hit list for several years has been rated "acceptable" this year based on recent TAKS scores, thereby preventing state closure. Dunbar also moved up to "Acceptable". Way to go!
