Communities United

TCSA launched its grassroots advocacy campaign late last summer. The campaign is a critical component of a larger organizational strategy to create an education environment favorable to charter schools.

The efforts of this campaign will build and sustain greater public awareness of Texas charter schools through the strategic recruitment and mobilization of parents, and community supporters in order to achieve legislative reforms. TCSA wants to transform parent enthusiasm into action as we build a strong base of advocates. Grassroots advocates will drive the demand for quality public school options in communities. Our statewide effort to build support for charter schools is unprecedented.

TCSA wants to set the example for all other states in advancing the charter school movement through grassroots advocacy. TCSA has split the state into four quadrants to reach our legislative targets with effective messaging delivered by district constituents.

Our grassroots advocacy team is hosting meetings and community events across the state. By the end of this campaign, we will recruit and mobilize 3000 advocates in support of the TCSA agenda and public charter schools.

The parents, teachers, board members, staff, and other stakeholders will be organized by geographic region and asked to take action for charter school policy reform in Texas.
