From Legislation to Launch: Mastering Procurement and Rulemaking for Texas ESAs
The Texas Education Freedom Accounts program represents a historic launch, poised to become the nation’s largest with approximately 100,000 initial students and a trajectory to eclipse Florida’s 500,000 within five years. To ensure this massive scale did not lead to parent attrition or provider payment delays, our firm spearheaded a technical workgroup and provided critical guidance during the procurement and rulemaking phases.
HB 117 Governor’s Task Force on Early Childhood Education Governance and Care
Such fragmented governance of ECE programs has led to negative effects on the accessibility and quality of care, as the lack of a centralized authority prevents a cohesive strategy for supporting Texas families and the workforce.
Increasing Access to Real Food
Nearly 90% of US health care spending is for people who have chronic diseases, and these diseases are the predictable result of the Standard American Diet permeated by foods that are ultra processed with refined carbs, added sugars, excess salt, unhealthy fats, and chemical additives. Coupled with a sedentary lifestyle, the result is that over 70% of adults are overweight or obese, one-third of teens have prediabetes, and only 40% are fit for military service.
From Red Tape to Redemption
Ninety-five percent of TDCJ inmates are released after serving their time in prison. Of those, 46% are rearrested and 15% are reincarcerated. The legislature has long grappled with the problem of recidivism, and established educational programs under Windham School District (WSD) in the 1960s to offer inmates the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills that they need to earn gainful employment upon release.
Securing Landmark ESA Legislation
The demand for personalized learning in Texas reshaped the education market as parents sought high-quality academics in a safe setting. This demand was clear: Texas charter school waitlists topped 65,000 students, and magnet school acceptance rates were below 25%.
Combating Severe Obstetric Complications
More babies are born in Texas than in 48 other states, second only to California. Every one of these children is a gift to their families and our communities, but maternal health complications place women and their unborn or newborn babies at high risk. Unfortunately, Texas has one of the highest rates of these complications. Of the twenty-one national indicators, DSHS reports discuss the most common in Texas.
