Educate Texas, an organization committed to enhancing the public school system, has announced its 2023 Impact Network Report. This significant milestone is attributed to the collective efforts of multiple directors and stakeholders in Texas education.

LaTonya Goffney, Superintendent of Aldine Independent School District at Educate Texas, emphasizes the importance of collaboration in their mission. "We don't have to be alone. There's power in networks," says Goffney.

Educate Texas was established in 2003 with a simple program aimed at increasing achievement and promoting educational fairness within the school environment. Over time, it has evolved into a robust organization that implements various programs and policies designed to transform the education system for the better.
