Secretary Cardona to Travel to McAllen and San Antonio, Texas, with Rep. Vicente González and Rep. Joaquin Castro to Discuss Build Back Better Agenda with Students and Education Leaders
This week, U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona will travel to Texas to highlight key education provisions within President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda. On Wednesday, Secretary Cardona will join U.S. Rep. Vicente González for a tour of Pharr-San Juan-Alamo (PSJA) Early College High School and a roundtable conversation with University of Texas Rio Grande Valley students about the Build Back Better agenda which provides students with pathways to affordable higher education, including two years of free community college for all students. On Thursday, Secretary Cardona will meet with U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro for a tour of Gus Garcia University School (Edgewood Independent School District), powered by Texas A&M University-San Antonio, followed by a conversation with students about the return to school and how the Build Back Better agenda can improve education for K-12 students. The Edgewood ISD is part of the A&M-San Antonio–ASPIRE network comprised by a public university and school districts, one of the first of its kind in Texas, to identify opportunities that lead to collective impact.
Both events will be followed by a press gaggle. In accordance with local guidelines, each event will require attendees and reporters to have a mask on while indoors.
