A panel convened by Gov. Greg Abbott is tasked with helping state leaders improve public schools. The group consists of 21 teachers from around the state.

These teachers will work together to strengthen the state's public education system. Three of the selected teachers are from the Centex area, which includes Waco. Further information about the panel and its goals can be found in the Waco Tribune-Herald.
