Not only are Texas lawmakers set to pass school choice this legislative session, there is also another education item on the agenda. It's called the 'Texas Family Success' agenda.
"What are the things that we need to be doing in Texas to ensure that this is the best place to have and raise a family" said Greg Sindelar, the CEO of the Texas Public Policy Foundation.
Basically, the Texas Family Success agenda models after the 'Success Sequence', which is a 3-step proven path, that helps achieve the American Dream.
"The Success Sequence would be taught and required in K-12 public schools instruction" Sindelar told KTRH, "And then establishing a commission on men and boys to ensure that we are moving in the right direction and encouraging family formation."
The Texas Family Success Agenda is founded on the following principles: Texas must restore the family as the building block of society. Texas must understand forming lasting marriages and raising children as positive and desirable ends for individuals and society
"We're trying to get a little bit more into the root causes, to ensure that we're strengthening families at the core, as opposed to addressing those issues when they are in crisis later" Sindelar told KTRH.
The agenda has widespread support in both the Texas House and the Senate.
