Texas Appleseed's Education Justice Project

For over two decades, Texas Appleseed has won victories for public school students in the Lone Star State. Andrew Hairston directs Texas Appleseed's Education Justice Project, working to ensure that all Texas students have the opportunity to reach their full potential, in school environments that recognize their full humanity. Mr. Hairston and the other attorneys on the Education Justice team are currently investigating state takeovers of school districts across Texas, including in Fort Worth. He will share what Texas Appleseed has learned so far and discuss how we intend to continually collaborate with community organizations to prevent future takeovers. 

Texas Appleseed is a nonpartisan nonprofit focused on bringing about policies that are fair, just, and equitable for all Texans. Fueled by data, legal expertise, and a commitment to supporting vulnerable communities, our work has shaped hundreds of state and local policies and positively affected millions of Texans. Click here for their Impact Report.
