Texas Legislature contact information
As partners in education, our state lawmakers are critical to the success of our school district and the other districts across the state. Legislation passed on a state level greatly impacts public education. Through the link below, you will find contact information on our district website for the representatives and senators serving the Dickinson area, as well as the leaders of the Education Committees for both the Texas House of Representatives and the Texas Senate. It is provided for your use in contacting these leaders if you choose, to share your opinions regarding the upcoming decisions regarding public education. Should employees choose to contact legislators, they are asked to do so on their own time and not during school hours or on school equipment, as that would go against school district policy.
