“The students and parents of District 12 deserve a conservative fighter who will lead with innovation,” Green said in a news release.
Explaining the role
The District 12 seat is held by Pam Little, whose term will expire Jan. 1, 2025. District 12's counties include Collin, Bowie, Cooke and Grayson, among others.
Little is running for re-election for the district seat, according to campaign representative Jason Zell. In an emailed statement, the Little campaign said she "is a conservative who has been pushing Texas schools to be more responsive to parents to help their children succeed."
The State Board of Education sets policies and standards for Texas public schools, according to the Texas Education Agency. Responsibilities include setting curriculum standards, adopting instructional materials and establishing graduation requirements.
The Republican primary election for State Board of Education is March 5.
