It’s no secret that teaching has become one of the most challenging professions one can endure. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, public education has experienced a mass exodus of teachers not only leaving their schools, but exiting the profession altogether.

Student learning loss, behavior issues, parent disengagement and mental health concerns are among the chief reasons teachers have left their jobs. For school districts, attracting and retaining the highest quality teachers has become a significant challenge.

Life School has received full system approval from the Texas Education Agency under the Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA). The approval grants Life School nearly $300,000 to recognize TEA-designated Teachers this year. Only 25% of districts in the state currently hold this designation, according to the Texas Public Charter School Association.

Life School proudly announces the participation of approximately 50 students in this year's Special Olympics. This year marks a special milestone as elementary students participated for the first time since before the pandemic. 

Life School, a charter school network in operation for over a quarter-century, announces its latest expansion efforts to provide quality educational opportunities that will serve the growing needs of their families and students.
