HB 2

More funding. A step forward.

House Bill 2 brought new state funding to Texas public schools, including support for teacher pay, special education and basic operating costs. We appreciate all of the advocacy work Cultivate Coppell has done to contribute to the passage of this bill.

Armadillo ExplainsWhat does HB 2 actually mean?

More support for public schools. HB 2 is a Texas public school funding law passed in 2025. It includes funding for teacher pay, special education and everyday school operating costs.

What does that mean locally? State funding helps districts pay for the people and services students rely on. How that translates to each school depends on district funding and budget decisions.

The work continues. Passing a funding bill is one step. Keep following local budgets and board meetings to see how those decisions affect your school.

The Little Town That Learned to Listen

In colorful Harmony Town, everyone has an opinion. No one can agree on the rules. When arguments take over, a wise old turtle named Mr. Tully helps the children discover civic participation and political organizing.

A picture book that makes government, democracy, voting and fairness a conversation young readers can join.
