Core values

- **Local Control and Flexibility**: TASA advocates for local control, allowing school districts to respond to the unique needs of their students, educators, and communities, which is crucial for addressing diverse societal needs[1].
- **Mental Health and Well-Being**: TASA provides access to mental health and well-being programs, such as eM Life™, which help reduce stress, anxiety, and promote overall health among school leaders and employees. This contributes to better mental health and quality of life[2][5].
- **Education Quality and Accountability**: TASA works to improve the quality of education by advocating for meaningful assessments, opposing oversimplified rating systems, and promoting community-based accountability. This helps in ensuring that education is more effective and valuable for students[1].
- **Special Education and Teacher Support**: Advocacy for increased funding for special education and support for the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS) improves the educational environment and the well-being of teachers, which in turn benefits the community[1].
- **Community Engagement and Transparency**: TASA supports increased transparency in charter school operations and advocates for community involvement in educational decisions, fostering better community relationships and trust[1].
- **Health and Financial Support**: Partnerships with organizations like Wondr Health and Lone Star Investment Pool help school districts manage healthcare costs and financial resources more effectively, which can lead to better allocation of resources for education[2][3].
