The SBOE is whitewashing history and requiring one religion’s texts K-12.
Teacher Amy Taylor is running to push back.
Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, 2026
Meet Amy Taylor
I’ve taught in Texas public school classrooms for 16 years, and I’m about to start my 17th — most of them teaching gifted learners and English language learners in a Title I school. I’ve watched what it takes for a child to go from struggling to confident — and I’ve seen how much that depends on having a teacher, not a politician, decide what and how they learn.
The State Board of Education writes the standards, adopts the textbooks, and sets the graduation requirements for every public school student in Texas. Right now, those decisions are shaped more by political agendas than by what actually helps a child learn. I’m running because your child’s classroom shouldn’t be where adults fight their political battles.
State Board of Education:
- sets standards for the state (TEKS)
- adopts curriculum for the state
- oversees Texas Permanent Fund
- approves rules for Teacher certification
- establishes graduation requirements
District 14: Bosque, Clay, Comanche, Coryell, Eastland, Ellis, Erath, Hamilton, Hill, Jack, McLennan, Mills, Montague, Navarro, Palo Pinto, Wise, and parts of Dallas, Denton & Johnson counties.
Amy Taylor’s Priorities for SBOE
rigorous, differentiated and non-religious textbooks and materials
public school funding for public school students
fewer high-stakes tests deciding a child’s future
teachers who can afford to stay in the classroom
curriculum written by educators designed around student learning
Amy Taylor, “SBOE has overstepped its power and is limiting local control. Changes are coming in 2030 unless we vote to stop them.”
