The Texas School Coalition is a statewide advocacy organization representing public school districts subject to the state's "recapture" system, which requires property-wealthy districts to send local property tax revenues to the state to help equalize school funding. The non-profit company is based in Fort Worth, TX. The coalition focuses on promoting sustainable, transparent, and accountable public school finance policies, provides data and resources on school finance, and actively engages in legislative advocacy, opposing private school vouchers and education savings accounts. It supports transparency in the use of recaptured funds and informs members, policymakers, and the public about school finance challenges and reforms.

The Fast Growth School Coalition is an organization representing the state’s fastest-growing and high-performing school districts. The non-profit company is based in Austin, TX. It serves as a collective voice advocating for increased state investment and supportive policies tailored to the unique needs of rapidly expanding districts. The coalition focuses on collaboration, legislative advocacy, and resource sharing to support student success and effective district growth management. It is governed by an executive committee and led by an executive director, including diverse school districts and business leaders committed to public education. The organization provides resources such as data reports, facilities reports, legislative priorities, membership options, corporate partnerships, advocacy efforts, an events calendar, links to education agencies, news updates, and member login access.
