Texas Charter School Development (TCSD)

🦃 This Thanksgiving, we at PCSD are taking a moment to reflect on the gratitude we feel for our incredible partners, team, and community. Every facility we help bring to life is a step toward dismantling systemic inequality in education, and none of it would be possible without the dedication of charter school leaders, our mission-driven team, and the trust of the communities we serve. To our partners: Thank you for letting us be part of your journey to create opportunities for students in under-resourced communities. To our team: Thank you for your hard work and passion for equitable education. And to the students and families who inspire us every day: Thank you for reminding us why this work matters. Wishing everyone a warm, happy, and safe Thanksgiving! 🧡 Texas Charter School Development (TCSD) Washington Charter School Development (WCSD) #PCSD #TCSD #WCSD #Gratitude #Thanksgiving #EquitableEducation
